## Resource

We all want to be faster and today we look at the right ways to go about speed in triathlon. We talk about pushing the limits along with how putting in easy miles mix. We talk about building habits that matter and why you always have the time to do the extra things that will make a difference. New the "latest and greatest" training methods, the simple power of repetition, and why most triathletes don't fully buy in to training. We also get into the biggest traps facing age groupers that want to be faster. Also, if you're thinking of doing one of these GREAT MIDWEST races, Ironman 70.3 Rockford, Ironman 70.3 Muncie, Ironman Wisconsin, or Ironman 70.3 Omaha, please use this link to sign up so we get a little credit from the boss: https://go.ironman.com/crushingiron Topics: Getting serious about distractions The need for more speed Algorithms and why they always hit you at the right (or wrong) time Dealing with set backs Feeling what hard runs feel like When you have a lack of buy in Building habits that matter Always learning what works for "other people" but not yourself Specialists vs. Primary "I don't think I'm ready for it yet" Building unwavering faith in what you're doing The more you race, the more problem solving experience "Am I on track, coach?" New training methods . . . Age Grouper Traps Doing the same workouts over and over The power of repetition Triathlon is not glamorous You can't beat the race every time Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
