Too many athletes misunderstand what it truly means to be a triathlete.  A triathlon is a single sport with three disciplines, not three individual sports strung together.  In order to successfully train for and race in triathlons, athletes need to understand and embrace this important distinction and apply it in their planning for their training and racing.

Coach Laura ran the Mountain Goat Run for the 14th time this year.  It may have been her 14th time running this race, but it certainly didn’t feel redundant to her.

No matter how much experience we have in endurance sports, there are always new experiences to be had, new things to learn, and new joys to be felt.  This year’s Mountain Goat Run checked all those boxes and more for Coach Laura.

This Coach Tip Tuesday is the 416th one that Coach Laura has written; today we’re celebrating the EIGHTH anniversary of Coach Tip Tuesday!  Coach Laura was inspired to keep sharing something she wrote every Tuesday by her friend and mentor Coach Brendan Jackson.  So, in what has become an annual tradition since that first Coach Tip Tuesday eight years ago, she is sharing something inspired by what she learned from Brendan for the anniversary of Coach Tip Tuesday.

No matter how many people we have to teach us and guide us along our endurance sports journey, ultimately, we must learn through our own experience.  The successes teach us something, but the failures actually can teach us more if we are open to receiving the lessons they carry.  Perhaps ironically, the cost of failure is what teaches us the most.
