Many of us, myself included, rush through training to just get it done. We mindlessly prepare our bags, drinks, equipment, perhaps drive to a location, do the workout and then get back home. And repeat. And repeat. What if we were more aware of all of these small steps in preparation and very aware of the actual training session itself - how it felt, what it looked like? What if we were more present during our life, wouldn't that make life itself more interesting?

Ever wonder why it seems the longer and harder you train the slower you lose weight, if at all? In my experience, exercise or caloric expenditure has far less influence on weight loss than this other thing.

I used to train by heart rate zone, loved it. Then I moved to training by pace, loved it even more. Then I discovered training by RPE and it's been a game changer. Free yourself from your smartwatch and learn to run by feel.

Incidentally, all my podium finishes have been after racing by feel. I know, seems unlikely but it's true.

Another week another illness/injury. I'm starting to wonder if I'm cursed or if this is just a day in the life of a triathlete? But I'm not letting it get me down, training through!

That title comes from a conversation I had with my friend, Jarris Neufeld. Jarris just completed Ironman Indian Wells 70.3 as his first ever 70.3 (and only second triathlon ever!).

How does one bang off a 70.3 with minimal training? Why would someone do that? What motivates such a person? Well, listen to my conversation and find out.

I was recently injured. Again! This stupid back. After some research I put together a healing protocol that I used over the course of one day and experienced 85% recovery one day later. That's not nothing! Listen to find out what I did (and what you can do) to recover from injury.
