It always feels like we should be doing MORE. More attention to work, the kids, training, learning . . . but time is finite and to do all those things better, we need to be connected with ourselves. Today, we look at minimal effective dose when training, along with how life's distractions are piling layers of stress on us. We look at the best ways to connect the mind and body along with using watches, power meters, and other gadgets in a way that gives you better control over them and your body. Topics: Little bits of struggle add up Maintaining connection Sit down with a purpose and get focused It's not your fault races aren't happening A forced period of transition Good and bad stress We need little wins The difficulty of finding escapes What to do with limited energy Reconnecting with yourself "Performing" in life Why we can't hold back Little ways to feel better Understanding Minimal Effective Dose Appropriately Challenging Accumulated Fatigue Addictive Nature of Triathletes Stress fatigues you and Stress masks fitness Moving pea gravel vs. boulders Looking at where you came from Learning calculus takes time Your body learns differently You can't fast track your body Would you choose to know your race result in 10 months? Your growth in the sport should never be done Using your power meter for command Letting go of the data Satisfied with being able to participate To feel good and perform at your best ability ---------------- The C26 Online Hub is now open to the public!
