So much of training and racing is mental that we went all in on it today. How to deal with doubts, heat, and feeling tired. We look at why we get tired and why often it’s as simple as breaking a pattern. How do you keep going when the mind says no? We talk about ways to be more engaged in a race, along with in-race recovery along with training methods to keep things interesting and give you confidence . . . even when it’s fleeting. Controlling thoughts and calming the mind is truly one of the greatest things you can do for your training and racing.  Topics:  Seasonal EPO Phone a Friend Thank the volunteers Camaraderie on the race course When the run gets lonely Breaking lethargy during the day or race Intentional Training We need energy to be motivated  Priority Scheduling  Cat Naps De-cluttering the brain Find time away from noise De-compress during the day Let your thoughts run wild and don’t react Time alone - anxiety, drinking, depression How to use music during your workouts Meditation to calm down Heat - Mental Training  You’re the only one who knows if you gave it all That first mil of running can give you huge doubts Trainers and gamers Don’t judge your race too early In Race “brain breaks” Boca Del Vista Update  Mike Tarrolly - CrushingIron@gmail.com Robbie Bruce - C26Coach@gmail.com www.c26triathlon.com
