#957 – Small Things That Lead To Big Gains

Today, we explore the concept of going back to the Ironman Drawing Board and working on the small things that lead to big results. We explore creating your own specific challenge, talk an out being afraid of different zones, and creating a new ceiling that attracts your floor. We get into how to build and HOLD your gains. We look at going longer vs. training smarter. We get into fear of strength and intensity and how/when to overcome it. The struggles in triathlon are all part of the fun and mystery and today we look at ways to reinvent ourselves and our training.

Topics:

• Is it the weather or the desire to do more that makes the difference?
• Love your yard and love yourself
• The triathlon space just feels different these days
• More athletes competing?
• Creating your specific challenge
• Afraid of certain zones?
• When it's insanely hot outside
• Creating a ceiling that leaves more room
• Moving the floor closer to your potential
• If you don't train it you stop gaining it
• Building and holding your gains
• Keeping the speed inside the plan
• Consistent with the little things
• The intent behind the training
• Going longer vs. being more purposeful
• Fear of strength and intensity
• It's all part of the fun and mystery
• Peeling back the layers of your success
• Lives change . . . more volume, less volume
• Nothing always works forever
• Take off the leash and let it rip
