This podcast was inspired by a vulnerable post about body image in our closed Facebook group. We touch on that, then get into healthy approaches to training, including eating enough to sustain our training, not feeling obligated to impress your coach, and why we should leave room for growth from mistakes. We get into how coaches can and should remove the burdens from your busy life. YOU are ultimately in charge of your training and only you know the intended outcome. You have the power to make decisions along the way that enhance your health and happiness.  Topics: Hub/Condo Deal Ending July 15 Des Moines 70.3 Thoughts Formula One Lessons with Coach Robbie New Tires for your Big Race?
