Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

Today is about understanding feel, your body, and learning how to “play” within training. The cast was a bit inspired by a new trend in MMA and boxing where they spar but don’t hit each other. They are more in the ring to work on form, footwork, and ensure better recovery. We think triathletes can learn a lesson from that. We talk about the power of stacking volume, understanding how fatigue masks fitness, and why finding a love for training easy is so powerful. We look at how hacks influence our mindset, true behavioral changes, and why many of us tend to lean toward going harder than we should. One of the biggest mistakes athletes make is going to hard on easy days, and going too easy on hard days. Get into a groove and be able to honor how you feel on any given day.  Topics:  When you’re itching to race Bad decisions Why “expect?” Why we don’t do many interviews You can go your own way Aqua Joggers rule the world Stacking Volume Run results over time Z1 and Z2 equal “play” “Im not a runner” Fatigue masks
