•⁠  ⁠The obsession with Zone 2 & 80/20 training
•⁠  ⁠Last-minute carb-loading myths
•⁠  ⁠Random “pro tips” in race week chaos
•⁠  ⁠Why listening to non-coaches ruins performance
•⁠  ⁠The truth about nutrition, sodium, and pacing

Most triathletes and runners never actually find out how fast they can go. Not because they aren’t fit but because race day keeps going wrong.

👉 Too aggressive at the start and blow up.
👉 Too conservative and leave speed on the table.
👉 Poor planning, no testing, random training structure.
👉 Missed nutrition, pacing, or equipment details.

The result? Athletes rarely reach their true potential.

In this episode, we unpack exactly why this happens and more importantly, how to fix it. From the habits of consistent athletes, to real race-day examples where the plan matched the performance, you’ll hear what separates those who stagnate from those who continually improve.

If you want to stop the suffer-fest and finally race to your ability, this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in now and start training and racing smarter.
