Can we get our old speed back? And is that even the right way to think about faster racing? Today, we look at how to think about racing and what being fast really means in triathlon. We look at the concept of slowing down the least, how pacing plays into speed, and how sometimes going faster simply means letting go. We look at being "good sore" and how going faster can feel "easier" but comes with a catch. Topics: Jessie Diggins Oatmeal Sandwich Can you build Raw Speed? Speed as in not slowing down Unwinding bad habits and damage through the years Understanding pacing Tempo work as a limiter Going faster is "easier" Building chassis for strength V02 Max work as the gasoline Volume and intensity Letting go to run faster Quantity before quality People obsess with being "the nail" "But did you die?"
