Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

Racing should feel like "business" as usual so it's up to us to create race situations ahead of time. Today we get into the differences between training indoors and outdoors, why swimming matters for the bike, and responding to race adversity. Triathlon is about energy expenditure and so many little things go into your race, including stress, and upper body fatigue. Paper Tigers tend to roll over when faced with unexpected challenges.The way we respond to life and racing is ultimately on us. Topics: Training in the North Hysteria and nonsense in Social Media Race Groups A million answers for the same question Is Billy really a carpenter? Panic Rooms Seasons Change Our best shape of the year The impact weather conditions have on training Lower watts indoors Not all power is created equally First outdoor ride "I'm Done. I'm over it." The difference between trainer and outdoors Why swimming matters for your cycling Upper body fatigue Arms and Cycling Upper body tension It's all about energy expenditure Stress is Stress Energy expenditure is energy expenditure Racing should feel like business as usual Responding to adversity The way we respond is on US! 1/2 aero Broken Aero bars Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

Training is about working harder to make the race easier. Today we look at how to work on things that matter so you can race on the offensive. We also get into turning your eye inward instead of on endless distractions. We're feeling the race season closing in. Today is a good push to help you find your groove. Topics: Race Season Closes In Dubai St. George nerves Assuming you'll get better over time Creatures of Comfort The things that make us uneasy Polarization and Pyramidal Following Influencers Our quest to make things easier Our eyes are turned outward Affirmations Work on the Hard Stuff to make this easier Decision Making Oh The Offensive New Years Resolution?

Can we get our old speed back? And is that even the right way to think about faster racing? Today, we look at how to think about racing and what being fast really means in triathlon. We look at the concept of slowing down the least, how pacing plays into speed, and how sometimes going faster simply means letting go. We look at being "good sore" and how going faster can feel "easier" but comes with a catch. Topics: Jessie Diggins Oatmeal Sandwich Can you build Raw Speed? Speed as in not slowing down Unwinding bad habits and damage through the years Understanding pacing Tempo work as a limiter Going faster is "easier" Building chassis for strength V02 Max work as the gasoline Volume and intensity Letting go to run faster Quantity before quality People obsess with being "the nail" "But did you die?" What is "good sore?" Triathlon is combining THREE sports What it takes to complete all three successfully The mindset of a smart racer --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

Do you feel rigid or low-key anxiety about life, training, or your job? Is it hard to "go off script" and just let go? Today, we get into why the drive for perfectionism can make things worse and how getting out of your comfort zone can make you a better athlete. We get into Mike's college frat and constant fear of getting fired along Robbie's table waiting and rehab days. All focused on how extracurricular activity makes you a more well rounded triathlete. Topics: Sit back and relax Keto? Identification with sub-cultures Fear of exploring Trail running What do you "call" yourself? Freedom of movement Fitness translates Perfectionism Chill or search for pain? Sum of Life Experiences Coaching Certification Waiting tables and Rehab Right, Left, Middle Do you have a "team?"

Sometimes we have to have tough conversations with ourselves. Are we being too soft? Or do we have to dig deeper and figure out what the real problem is? Today, we look at race excitement, how we can thrive, and making the best decisions for our own satisfaction. We can't optimize everything, so we have tough choices. Often it's better to remove something than add more to your life. Marketing to insecurities and the power of ignorance. Topics: Fake it till you make it How tough is your life? The onslaught of numbers We need energy for motivation The "old me" Optimizing everything about everything It all goes back to having fun Ironman Depression The race is the light going out Nils Vanderpoel - Simplicity The same person is making plans for someone we're not Ignorance is bliss Am I making plans for someone else? Confidence Marketing to insecure Why do we make decisions What are you doing as a person to remedy problems?

Ohhhhh the guilt. Let's get this shit taken care of once and for all…..Do we miss a workout, or miss fun with our family and friends? The triathlete's dilemma. Today, we go deep into how our decisions. How they effect our training, racing, and lives. We get into the rivalries in our heads, not feeling good enough, and being hard on ourselves. You can't do it all, but you can do what's right for you and makes you more whole as a person. Topics: Favorite #5 Coaching Time Allocations Training Peaks is a confessional You Can't Do It All The guilt of missing out on life/training Having someone to troubleshoot with Workouts that bring you to tears Triathletes are hard on themselves Internal struggles and childhood There's not really a wrong How do you make yourself whole? Constantly behind the 8-Ball Denial of emotional and mental turmoil Rivalries in your head Burt Biscuit Cafe We don't feel like we're good enough Stimulation of Crowds Get rid of the clutter Be cool with who you are Reframe your Sentence - I want to be . . .

Off a great, but tough weekend at Run Camp, we reflect on how and when to push and why it's important to have fun in your life and training. We talk about your big race is "Just One Day" and how it's better to be undertrained than burned out. Also, the little signs in your training will let you know you're ready before you race. We look at burning physical and emotional matches, finding your pain threshold in each sport and when are the right times to dig deep. You're the main character and author, it's up to you to find more fun. Topics: Relaxation The "Watts Game" How we locate the ego inside of us How stress impacts your life and training Pushing yourself when appropriate It's your responsibility to have fun in life We're in a world of leisure Escaping your life Venting about training Faster, stronger, and on and on and on The ability (and right time) to dig deep Sometimes we need to go rogue Inherent feeling about what we should accomplish in life Letting go of limits You only have to do it once The Hurt Locker Undertrained You're the main character and author of your story Break through the "I cant's" You should be chomping at the bit on race day Burning physical and mental matches Fit, fast, and fresh What's your most comfortable level of pain? How long can you withstand pain? High Pain/Shorter Distance or Lower Pain for longer? Understanding your pain level scale What's your training temperment?

"Flipping that switch" gets harder over time, so today we look at how you can more consistently be in your "intrinsic zone" so things feel right. We talk about ways to keep wasted time from snowballing along with finding passion and motivation outside of speed or a race time. We get better and faster by truly finding joy in the process. And by simple things like improvement and alleviating weaknesses. Today, we get into how that all ties together to find contentment and reward in this sport for a long time.

Holding pace and effort are probably one of the greatest skills you can master in triathlon. Today, we look at how that correlates to your bike power, run training, and swim effort. We start with FTP (Functional Threshold Power) tests, including: how you should use them, when are the best times to do them, and how to interpret results in a way that helps you train better. It's an understandable approach to bike power along with some great thoughts to help your swimming. Topics: Good Ole Fashioned Sarcasm FTP Tests (Functional Threshold Power) Best way to get accurate power numbers We have a "new" FTP Test When and why should you test on the bike How do you know if you're ready for an FTP test? Why you should want your FTP a little low Aerobic base neglected Intake and outtake without proper chassis Ego and FTP Intensity Factor in Cycling What percentage can you HOLD? Golf handicaps and FTP analogy Women vs. Men regarding ability to hold intensity How long can you hold effort and pace? Testing anxiety Pass/Fail Pressure Swim Turnover Pool times vs. Open Water 25 yards to a 50 meter pool differences Percentage of Fade Amount of bleed on the backend of the race A swimming thought process you need to use Don't be reckless, be efficient Arm flail vs. Power

Do you have a clear understanding of your goals? How will 20 extra minutes today matter 4 months from now? Today is about the ability to enjoy your training while keeping the structural integrity. The power of the mind and doing self checks before looking at the numbers. We talk about the distractions we all face and why it's up to us to limit them and focus more on the middle way. Distraction equals stress and the person with the least amount of stress wins. Topics: Hair Gate OG in town What's the point of our sport? The importance of context Structural integrity of training Just Keep Loving It What's your "fun level" in training? It's about your ability to perform when it matters Exercise Randomness Preparing for that time later in the season Putting too much stock in your watch Do a self check Plus or minus 3 margin of error Infatuation with numbers Diminishing marginal returns Do you know what the numbers mean? Courage to go with your gut The person with the least stress wins The Middle Way Distraction equals stress It's up to the coach to know the athlete Looking for a Customized Swim analysis in our C26 Hub?

It may seem like a simple mistake, but it can snowball if you don't stop it in its tracks. Today, we look at knowing and accepting our tendencies. We also talk about routines, mindsets, and chronic states of living. We look at the self love/punishment fence of triathletes. We talk about our "why" and what real, attainable, and lasting goals look like. We get into taking care of the body and ridiculous goals. Topics: Crazy NFL Recap Training mistakes that cost you Off Balance Diets Knowing who you are and current fitness What are your tendencies when things go wrong? One mistake connected to the next It's not about being perfect Intent Routines and mindsets Accepting the outcome Mindfulness The Self Love/Punishment Fence Better to be undertrained Maximizing your ability to feel better Should you take today off? Chronic Living Maintaining Health Taking care of your body The goal is to be your healthiest A "stay hard" mistake Attainable and in the ballpark Ridiculous Goals Minimal Effective Does vs. Too Much Play with the cards you're dealt Making up for Mistakes Take time to right the ship Don't let one bad decision ruin your week Work hard/Play Hard?

The little decisions we make each day set the tone for our lives. Happy and Healthy are the goals and depend on which way those decisions fall. Training can always be put off, but if you think of it, do it now. Don't be a robot in search of perfection because it's not going to come. Embrace imperfection AS perfection. Take responsibility for yourself, as we are what we consistently do. And by all means, be selfish with what makes you healthy. *** Time is running out to sign up for THE C26 CLUB PROGRAM FOR 2022!

We all know the mind plays a big part in training and racing, so it's really up to us to get the negative voices out of our heads. Today, we look at great accomplishments as we get older and how age is being re-defined. We talk about how people and news can pollute our belief system, and ways to get past our limiters. We look at why so many people put off the next phase in pursuit of perfection, but why it's so important to dive in and go now. Fill your voids with the right fuel. Also, a CLASH Daytona recap. Topics: Training Mistakes? Going too hard vs. too far 5k vs. Marathon Commit to a walk Walk/Run alternative Strength Building When we hurt ourselves on purpose Filling a Void CLASH Daytona Indian Wells Next Year will be an exciting Pro Season Human Optimization for the Metaverse It's not too late Age is a Mindset Committed to live vs. Accepting the Dying Process Unsolicited Advice Doctor Speak It's all up to YOU People Dragging your into their world Plow your own path Surrounding ourselves with the right people The inner circle The year of excuses Seasonal Depression *** CHECK OUT THE C26 CLUB PROGRAM FOR 2022! --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

We hear it all the time, "Coach, I'm not getting faster." Tracking your improvement isn't always easy because process can drag on, but you shouldn't have to use a complex formula. So, today, we get into the simple ways to know you're getting better/faster and why consistency is your biggest asset in the long-term. We talk about how guilt drives us and how those rebounds create deeper problems. Why "easy" training is so important and how you can make those sessions more enjoyable and functional for your success. Topics: Summer in December Ready for a Hub Visit? Coaching from Rehab Consistency over Complexity Too Many Instructions "I Just Want to Run" Excitement as a Drug Guilt & Rebounds "Enter-Training" Making and Keeping Habits Re-creating old excitement Simple vs. Lazy Looking past today's workout Effortless IS improvement Crawl, walk, run Hurry Slowly Great is the enemy of good When ego gets too high The Training Peaks comments that mean improvement "I really had fun" The smaller the improvement . . . . *** CHECK OUT THE C26 CLUB PROGRAM FOR 2022! --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

December is the time to set up the next year. The Year of You. What kind of micro decisions can we make to stay on the right track? How do we handle days off, eating too much, and the guilt that comes with it all. Is this a time for maintenance or getting faster?

For some, training is a grind, but others seem to enjoy every minute of it. What's the differentiator? Today, we look at what Coach Robbie has learned in his 8 years of sobriety, and the parallels with training, attitude, and his journey with Mike through 8 Ironman.

What do you want to get out of life? In many ways, this is a podcast to inspire you to go after what you really want, and let triathlon HELP that process. This is the end of a tough two years and the struggle has been real for many. We've "learned" to take the safe way out and not explore life. Today, we talk about getting out there, trying things you're afraid of, and how to reinvigorate your spirit. We both feel like this can be a time for optimism if we keep our minds right. *** CHECK OUT THE C26 CLUB PROGRAM FOR 2022! Topics: Is Thanksgiving #1?

2020 forced and taught a lot of people to lean into the side of taking the easy road. Today we get into why it's more important than ever to do hard things and push your comfort zone.

We get into why it's important to be fun, flexible, find the kid inside and try new things or something out of the norm.

While this one is mainly about swimming and getting faster in the water, there are a lot of things that transfer into training for bike and run. We talk about understanding how to improve in the swim, how to descend intervals by effort and engaging the full stroke. We also get into where your power zone is and how it translates to the bike and how you can create more time to breathe. Find your gears in the water. Topics: Are you "at home" in the pool? Are you wasting ability? Swim goals Understanding HOW to get better and faster Testing as the method? Recognizing when you're in good shape Testing is like racing When you don't have Zone 4 or Zone 5 Swimming intervals How to descend swim intervals by effort Slow - Fast - Nothing in between Finding multiple gears in the water Engaging the full stroke Inches matter Negative splitting intervals AND sets Creating more time to breathe The power Zone in swimming Swim and pedal stroke similarities Full Swim stroke The key is momentum Early vertical forearm --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

This is the pursuit of figuring yourself out. What makes you tick, how does triathlon complement and support your life. Where do you want to go from here and what does personal success look like. We talk about the little things and why they should matter. The off-season is a process that can go one of two ways. Why it's so important to stay in the game if you want to get faster. We get into post-race-depression, why it happens, and how you can change. No more putting your true self on the back burner.

How do we really uncover joy in our daily workouts and not burn out in this sport. We talk about micro goals and how to give them meaning and power in your life.

With over 50 athletes on the course, including co-host, Mike, C26 Triathlon created a slew of memories at Ironman Chattanooga. The weather was perfect, but we were once again reminded how HARD it is to do these races. We get into the swim, bike, run from both an on and off the course perspective. Mike tells the story of his battle with Phil and Chet in what many called "The Crushing Iron War II." We talk about how some people keep getting better and others continue to struggle in this sport. And finally how to evolve and grow with gratitude and why it's so important to have fun. Topics: Why we do this Ironman as a metaphor for life Everyone hurts There are no perfect days Under prepared Playing the middle-ground and why it's smart Mike talks about the pain Just slow down as much as possible Mike loses the Crushing Iron War Gratitude and Emotions When you come "this close" to putting it all together The finish Line Tri Club Champions The C26 Team was in full force Happy and Healthy When we miss the big point of it all Changing your perspective Evolving and growing If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong How many times can we get off the mat People struggle with being in the ballpark Dedicated to figuring out how we can have fun

Finally, we welcome Ironman Chattanooga to our home town. Today we take you from the anxious moments pre-swim, through tactics for getting through the very hilly run. We look at the bike course and how you should manage your day with the rollers and sneaky pinch hills. We also talk about wetsuits, swimming in a river, and how to beat anxiety. Sneaky sections of the run and how they can blow you up if you're not careful. All you need to know about racing Ironman Chattanooga, along with some spectator tips. Topics: Note: We will have new gear on hand at the C26 Hub from 1-5 on Friday Chilly in Chattanooga Be who you are Mike is relaxed? That Ironman is in town setting up feeling When do you calm down? Be Grateful that you can Do This Swim current When to get in the water Anxiety remedies Temperature, Humidity and wetsuits The best way to swim the river Let the current work for you Transition talk Bike - Rough First few miles Build in your later Rollers and pinchers When the mind starts to wander You are ready to get off the bike Run - Don't bust your run on mile 1 Amnicola Highway Running Greenway - A pincher to know about Once you hit Veterans Bridge, there's no more flat Running Barton and the north shore Spectating secrets --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

The weather looks like it might be perfect for Ironman Chattanooga, but don't let that fool you. Ironman is always hard. Today we look at race strategies, including the blurring of your Zones and how that can impact your performance. We also talk about racing free and how that can be difficult for a lot of us who haven't raced in a long time. We go over how people dig a nutrition hole they can't get out of. We also dig deep into the mind games you can face and how to trust your gut and race free. Topics: Chattanooga weather and rain How to race when the weather is "perfect" Download milestone Idle time and the mind playing tricks Obsession and worry Fear of Success Racing Free Ironman is always a breakthrough day The pain of the bike Never underestimate Ironman The little annoyances that get in your head Don't worry about other athletes Cool temps and fueling Drinking to thirst can be a mistake Ironman is an Attention Game Falling behind in your fueling Dinner, to race breakfast and fueling out of the swim First 10 miles of the bike Benefits of hills to understand effort and calories Eat after the swim Races present things you aren't prepared for Disengaged and negative head space Be excited to race How Zones blend together Going with your gut Trusting how you feel Pro Race at 70.3 Worlds --------------- Coach Mike is accepting full-time athletes.

It was a long time coming, but Ironman Wisconsin was back in full force. We were once again reminded that IRONMAN IS HARD and it's easy to take that for granted. We look at the 2 loop swim, the difficult bike course and the second loop of the run. We talk about great memories, dealing with DNFs and how to get your mental game right for these races. Topics: Rusty Spectator Skills Long time coming First time back at IMWI in 2 years More emotions People forget how difficult Ironman is The ironman business Mass Starts Hedging your emotions Taking the distance for granted Highlighting the cracks in your training Mental Preparation 2 Loop Swim How to get in the focus zone The illusion of rolling starts How to deal with a DNF Give yourself credit The straight up reality checks The mental game A recipe for disaster Putting our well being above it all You can't have any cracks Great memories The magic of the finish line

We have a ton of experience with, and love, Ironman Wisconsin. Today we go through the most important factors for you to have a solid race. We look at keys to race morning and being relaxed for the swim. How to handle the unique transition. We also break down the body-blow bike course from a strategy perspective. This is not a PR type of course and it's best to be smart, be ready for rough roads, lots of turns and never ending climbs, and tons of spectators. The run course is challenging but fair. Lots of support. We'll look at how to approach all the different sections. Topics: You can't cheat this course Wisconsin bike hills In-race recovery The course is as fair as they get Body blows The swim - RELAX Wetsuits and breathing Swimming in chop Two loop course T1 and running up the Helix Use swim exit to get legs loose not gain time Garbage bags to stay warm on bike Gearing is the name of the game Big chain drop course The bike course is chess, not checkers Cresting hills effectively Using one hill to the next Limiting your variability index Keep average power and normalized power close Bike spectators Not a PR course Don't come out too hot on the run course Just enough terrain changes State street excitement Camp Randall The Run Path on Campus Knowing where the 20 mile mark is Just have fun Love the hoodie weather
