Today is part 2 of listener questions and we spend a lot of time talking about the monumental nature of doing an Ironman. Is it absurd, simply a conquest, or a means to an end? There are tons of little training nuggets weaved inside of this cast, including, how to build an effective swim training package, is it worth the time and effort to be your absolute best in this sport? Triathlon vs. other priorities, and Taper combined with race week stress. We definitely hit on many interesting topics including weak feet and Lionel Sanders syndrome.
Topics:
Weak feet . . . make weak men . . . make weak times?
Lionel Sanders syndrome
Skill, speed, strength as a combo
Swim technique sessions
Giving up the watch in the pool
Training to train or get better?
Training for what's on top of your chin
When does the absurdity of Ironman go away?
Why people come back to this sport over and over
Thoughts on leaving performance on the table
What's your best potential at your age?
What is your real goal
Two priorities at a time
Taper week decisions
Race week stress
Relieving stress or getting more tired?
It's easy to forget how many Ironman questions there really are.
