#27 - Is Your Passion Productive or Poisonous?

It's natural to get excited about triathlon, but when does it work against you?  Mike and Coach Robbie recently read an article called "When Passion Becomes Destructive" by Brad Stulberg and it kicked off a lot of bad memories.  Times when the only thing that mattered in their lives was their "A Race" and how that took them away from things that are really important.  Today's podcast covers: - The difference between harmonious and obsessive passion - How we can apply lessons from the Super Bowl to our Big Race - Cultivating long-term health, happiness, and performance while avoiding suffering - Why we take training failures personally - How to not get sucked into a never ending cycle of searching for satisfaction - Why obsessive passion can lead to depression - How to trade awards and rankings for mastering your body - The number one recipe for distress and failure   Email us: [email protected] Please subscribe and leave a comment on iTunes www.crushingiron.com
