We get into the sport to grow and become more confident, but . . . what do we do in those weak moments? The best athletes (and people) are always learning. Today, we look at a lot of examples we experience in coaching and how we approach insecurities that pop up in training. The stress of missing workouts, injuries, worry about not being ready, judging ourselves too harshly, etc. Training should be a way to become more whole and not judge ourselves by comparison. Learn your limits and how to approach them in a positive way. Topics: Do you think you'll be ready? The obsession with wanting to know and predict Adding "judgements to our plate" Do you need to do MORE? Making up missed workouts Does not getting a PR mean you're slower? Was this session good enough? Who are you letting down? Do you think that race is a good idea? The endless puzzle You just don't know Are you where you thought you'd be? Over-judging yourself Sitting with yourself You shouldn't be stressed about something that gives you joy The ability to take days off The three P's of stress Training to heal or be whole Learning from overtraining Leaving wiggle room for life Depression and anxiety If you're looking for a great custom coaching plan, please check out the new C26 Systems Plan for 2020 at the new c26triathlon.com.
