Race season is here, is your mind in the right place? We take a step back from Emo and get into ways to rejuvenate the energy and make the transition into race season. Finding your competitor, leaning into your passion, breaking out of the "Perfection Jail." We also go on a little rant about Brick Obsession and why it's so overrated.  Topics: Be dependable to yourself Coach talks about his training struggles Why we don’t always talk about the numbers From Emo to competitive Family transitions and Life Transitions Not obsessing about Races Showing yourself Grace You can’t be the outcome and process It’s time to wake up Don’t Chase the Wrong Things The Perfection Jail  Lean Into What You Have at the Moment Managing Load  How to best move workouts Running off the bike (Brick strategy) Support the Crushing Iron podcast on Patreon, where the community pledge is only $3.26 per month.
