After a highly motivating 10 days in Kona watching the world's best athletes set course record after record, I’m back with another podcast.

This week, there is no guest as I will be taking you through the steps required to set up a winter training plan to ‘crush’ the opposition in 2019.  This is a 45 minute broadcast emphasising the simple technique that I use with the athletes I work with.

I will be asking you to embrace some shifts in mindset and to consider a slightly different approach to what other coaches might propose and what you have done in the past. 

As the saying goes “if you always do what you have always done, you’ll always get what you've always had”.

This episode is packed full of information.  Get yourself a pen and paper and be prepared to make some notes as I share:

The ONE key factor which will influence your success in 2019

The “low hanging fruit” which will give you the biggest return for your training investment

How mastery goals will take you toward your outcome goals

Why you must think longer than 12 months when setting your goals

The #1 goal of your winter training plan

Polarised training and the MAF approach

Why all training plans work

How athletes get in their own way by 'splitting hairs’

The importance of thinking about sleep and recovery before training

Some simple nutrition advice

The value of yearly strength training for ALL athletes

Why swimming more and running less could mean greater gains in fitness

Why you don’t really need to run or ride long in the winter
