Ask A Coach: How to create powerful habits?
Last week we had a great discussion on creating a blueprint for your 2025 season. We considered
Deciding on A Race, etc
Training Blocks
Camps or Pool School
Once you have the plan to put together your best season, you now have to implement it. If your plan requires changes like adding a strength routine, incorporating new drills, being more consistent, getting more sleep, or a multitude of other new habits, you need to be equipped with the 411 on building bullet proof habits or a habit home run!
To help us roll through this, I'm (Rich) going to ask the expert (April). Here we go.

Ask A Coach:
#463 - Recap of the RESET discussion last week
Why It's Important to Take a Short Break?
Continuous training without a break can lead to burnout, overuse injuries, and diminished performance. Your body needs time to repair the micro-damage caused by intense workouts, while your mind requires a chance to rejuvenate. This period of rest not only prevents chronic fatigue but also sets the stage for future gains.
When to Take It?
The best time for a break is right after your last race of the season. Your performance has peaked, and pushing further can result in diminishing returns. Listen to your body and give yourself permission to step back.
How Long to Take It?
A break of 2-4 weeks is ideal. This length of time allows for sufficient physical and mental recovery without compromising fitness. It strikes a balance between rest and staying active enough to avoid becoming sedentary.
What to Do / Not Do During this break?
Engage in low-intensity activities like yoga, walking, or leisurely swimming. Avoid high-intensity workouts that can stress your body. Focus on hobbies, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the simple pleasure of movement without the pressure of performance.
Reflection - What went well? What could be improved? Envision your goals for the next season. This process of reflection helps in setting more informed and achievable targets.
April - I’ll add here too that getting a list of good reflection questions makes all the difference. Sometimes the difference between good and GREAT results and making meaning is asking a powerful question, so here’s a list of thought-provoking questions I recommend adding to your repertoire:
What is my "why"?
Why am I dedicating a significant portion of time, money, and energy to this training?
What is the deeper motivation driving my training? Is it personal growth, the challenge, the community, or something else? Understanding your "why" can help you stay focused and consistent, especially during tough training sessions and months of training and racing.
What are my biggest weaknesses in each discipline?
While it's important to focus on strengths, identifying weaknesses can help you target specific areas for improvement. Are you a strong swimmer but a weak cyclist? Or perhaps your running form needs more technical work?
How can I manage training with other life priorities?
When do you need to prioritize training and when can you counterbalance the other areas of your life: family, work, business, vacation time, and rest.
What is my ideal race day experience?
Envisioning your ideal race day can help you set specific goals and develop a race strategy. What does it look like to feel confident, strong, and energized on race day?
How can I use my past experiences to inform my future training and racing?
Reflect on your past races and training seasons. What worked well? What didn't? By learning from your experiences, you can make informed decisions about your future training and racing.
By pondering these questions, you can gain valuable insights into your motivations, goals, and training strategies.
Update or Create Values Inventory or Personal Mission Statement
Revisit your core values and personal mission statement. This is a powerful exercise in aligning your training and life goals with your personal values.
#464 - STRATEGIZE
Personal SWOT - Take 30 minutes to make a list of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to your training and racing goals. This will give you a foundation for creating a blueprint for next year. Your SWOT will be unique to you, which means what it reveals in terms of your
April - I’ll share my personal SWOT experience here and what I learned.
Priorities and Commitments - Life is a balancing act and we all have commitments and priorities that need to be taken into account. What are those big rock priorities for you? What commitments are already in place or pending for next year? Go back to your SWOT and look at the Risks and Threats, you may find there are priorities and commitments.
Inspirations and Risks - Listen to your heart. I recently heard an athlete say, I’m considering Boulder 70.3 and Galveston 70.3. I'd really love to race in Boulder but the altitude scares me and I'm not sure I can prepare for it. If you have a race that inspires you, it will fuel your drive. By carefully strategizing, planning for the challenge and putting in place the habits to execute your training - you'll be ready!
You Support Team - Who's in your corner? Who's support do you need? Share your goals with your spouse or partner, your parents or kids, your boss. Let them know and let them know how you plan to balance your commitments and what you need from them. Invite them to be on your journey, follow you on social media, invite them to your races. You communicating with them will build your support and help you identify any hidden risks or undiscovered commitments.
Budget
Talk to your accountant and your spouse now. Let them know what races you want to do, what equipment you need to do those races, what nutrition and other expenditures like travel, etc. To have longevity in the sport and marriage, don't commit to anything you can't afford.
Next week in episode #465 we will give you a blueprint for how to put together your 2025 Race Plan.

Welcome to Episode #463 of the 303 Endurance Podcast. We're your hosts Coach Rich Soares and 303 Chief Editor, Bill Plock. Thanks for joining us for another week of endurance news, coaching tips and discussion.
As the triathlon comes to a close, it’s time for athletes to embrace a phase often overlooked—taking a break. For triathletes driven by goals, this may sound counterintuitive. However, downtime is not only essential but also beneficial for your overall performance and well-being. Whether you’ve just crossed your last finish line or are planning your next race, here's why taking a break could be the secret to your success.

Bill's Spain Trip:
Bill, bienvenido amigo. Welcome back from your Spain trip. I've been reading your posts. They were amazing and totally drew me in. I want to read one paragraph from your Castles to Coast Pt 2 post.
My memories of the coastal towns of Cadaques and Port De la Selva are similar but vastly different.
On our off day we visited Cadaques, a time capsule of isolated living only visited by boat until a few decades ago. A city besieged by Pirates and homes carved into cliffs and protected by a curiously thick wall. Behind them citizens flourished and created one of the most stunning alters I have ever seen. Hidden stories intermingled with traditional Catholic lore. The subliminal messages and hidden figures saved for future generations to know these original artists were more worldly than not. They questioned status quo and were curious about more than religion.
Protected by a similar harbor, Porta De la Selva feels more business like, full of fishing boats and those who rely on the catch of the day more than the catch of a bus or car. Gorgeous as well and the finish or our ride on day five.
You mentioned leaving "50,000 miles of cycling history" in Barcelona. Can you elaborate on the significance of this milestone for you?
Your carbon soles saw their last daylight on the sands of Barcelona. How did it feel to retire them in such a memorable location?
You described travel as feeling rather than seeing. Could you share a specific moment on this tour that encapsulated this sentiment?
What were some of the standout local experiences or interactions you had while meandering through the back streets and alleys of Barcelona?
The architecture and vibrancy of Barcelona left a strong impression on you. What about Gaudi’s work do you find most captivating?
You mentioned the 1992 Olympics' influence on Barcelona. How do you think this has shaped the city's modern character and infrastructure?
Your journey took you from the coast to the mountains. Which part of the route left the most lasting impression on you and why?
The camaraderie among your group was a highlight. How did the diverse backgrounds of the participants and guides enhance your experience?
You visited various historical sites and indulged in local culinary delights. Was there a particular dish or drink that stood out to you?
Reflecting on this trip as a potential gateway to a new lifestyle, what lessons or insights have you brought back that could influence your life in Winter Park?
What are the different types of bicycles available on EF Adventures tours in Spain, and how do they cater to varying skill levels?
Can you describe the typical itinerary of a week-long bicycle tour with EF Adventures in Spain?
What are some of the must-see landmarks or attractions that cyclists get to experience on these tours?
How does EF Adventures ensure the safety and comfort of participants during the tours?
What kind of support and guidance do participants receive from EF Adventures guides throughout the tour?
Kona Summary:
Race Highlights:
Winner: Patrick Lange (GER) with a course record time of 7:35:53.
Second Place: Magnus Ditlev (DEN) finishing in 7:43:39.
Third Place: Rudy Von Berg (USA) with a time of 7:46:00.
Notable Performances: Sam Laidlow (FRA) set a new bike course record with a time of 3:57:22 but struggled during the run. He finished in 18th place.
Other Top Finishers: Leon Chevalier (FRA), Menno Koolhaas (NED), Gregory Barnaby (ITA), Cameron Wurf (AUS), Kieran Lindars (GBR), Kristian Høgenhaug (DEN), and Matt Hanson (USA).
Post-Race Reactions:
Patrick Lange: Celebrated his third Ironman World Championship title and expressed gratitude for the support3. He highlighted the importance of perseverance and mental strength.
Magnus Ditlev: Praised Lange's performance and shared his excitement about finishing second. He emphasized the tough competition and the incredible atmosphere in Kona.
Rudy Von Berg: Was thrilled to be the first American on the podium in a decade. He thanked his supporters and coaches for their unwavering belief in him.
Sam Laidlow: Acknowledged his bike record but admitted his disappointment with the run. He vowed to come back stronger and learn from the experience.
Leon Chevalier: Expressed satisfaction with his performance but noted the need for improvement in future races3.
The race was filled with drama, records, and inspiring performances, making it one of the most memorable Ironman World Championships in recent years.
Ask A Coach: Transition Season and the Reset
Watching the Ironman World Championship this past weekend, I was reminded that the sun is setting on the 2024 triathlon season. As the triathlon comes to a close, it’s time for athletes to embrace a phase often overlooked—taking a break. For triathletes driven by goals, this may sound counterintuitive. However, downtime is not only essential but also beneficial for your overall performance and well-being. Whether you’ve just crossed your last finish line or are planning your next race, here's why taking a break could be the secret to your success.

Engage in low-intensity activities like yoga, walking, or leisurely swimming. Avoid high-intensity workouts that can stress your body. Focus on hobbies, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy the simple pleasure of movement without the pressure of performance.
Reflection and Envisioning Use this time to reflect on your season. What went well? What could be improved? Envision your goals for the next season. This process of reflection helps in setting more informed and achievable targets.
Update or Create Values Inventory or Personal Mission Statement
Revisit your core values and personal mission statement. This is a powerful exercise in aligning your training and life goals with your personal values. Updating these can provide a fresh perspective and renewed motivation as you transition back into training.
Summary
Taking a few weeks to reset and recover is a strategic move that ensures you come back stronger, both physically and mentally. Embrace this downtime as an integral part of your training cycle—your future self will thank you.
Stay tuned, train informed and enjoy the endurance journey!

Ask A Coach:
What is an athlete?
Last Friday I took the USAT Paratriathlon Level 1 coaching certification course.
Ptwc1 - no core muscle strength and get a head start (2-3 minutes)
Ptwc2 - some core strength
Adaptive Adventures
So when I look at the question what is an athlete? My answer to that is the one who most consistently acts like an athlete. Trains like an athlete. Thinks like an athlete. An athlete doesn't have to have all four limbs and all 10 fingers to be an athlete those don't make an athlete. The mind and the decisions, actions, behaviors and habits make an athlete.
Which brings me to a challenge to our listeners.
Also, as you think about the end of your season and you think about how you are going to spend the next few months, remind yourself if you are gifted and fully abled think about how you want to spend your time.
