Most of us hit a bit of a wall deep in training and a few weeks from the race, so today we'll look at ways to keep engaged and give you a lot of reasons not to mail it in after all the hard work you've put in. It's a long training season for a late Ironman or 70.3, so do your best to stay with the plan and trust the process all the way to race day. A big part of what you're doing is building mental durability and that is the kind of training we all need on race day. Find ways to stay engaged and not put too much burden on yourself when you have the deep fatigue. Have confidence in knowing your body will come around when it needs to.

Topics:

  • Ironman Bonanza on the way
  • Fall Triathlon and Football
  • Don't mail it in before you're done
  • Effort, discipline, low stress, good sleep, recovery
  • The closer we get the more intense it feels
  • The hay is still out on the tractor
  • Feeling fatigued? Do this . . .
  • Going into race weekend mode
  • Prep more than ever
  • Nailing your fuel
  • The mind and heart hold us back
  • Mental durability
  • Don't dwell on what you haven't done
  • Stop saying . . . I wish I would have . . .
  • Feeling like shit in taper
  • Load up your race wheels, shoe, wetsuit, etc . . .
  • Take it day to day
  • One workout at a time in training
  • One event at a time in racing
  • Clean out the pantry
