***Be sure to stay tuned at the end of the podcast for an interview with C26 Coach, Erin Koerner. Topics: Are you trying too hard Swimming harder, but slower Coming back from an injury Our data is often inaccurate Treadmills, wearables, power meters Are food labels precise? Tracking food macros Is the answer really more? Over-stimulated Low expectations for the win Turning a blind eye to potential problems Dealing with niggles or pretending they're not there Do more or nothing? Doing more is a "during" decision Recovery is the magic Going to work or doing work? Being aware of the effort you put in How can we do less to get faster? Forcing ourselves into shape Wo are we trying to please? What are we trying to validate? Are we sure this is the answer? Shorter training weeks Scheduled life for less stress Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected] Coach Erin - Bio - https://c26triathlon.com/about/coaches/erin-koerner/ Coach Erin is a full-time paramedic. Currently, she works for Southern Ozaukee Fire Department and Milwaukee Area Technical College where she is in charge of the Milwaukee Fire Department Cadet Paramedic Program. She has a Masters Degree in Domestic Terrorism and spent a few years living in Kuwait working for the government, which was a life changing experience! She got into triathlons a few years after graduating from University of Wisconsin Stevens Point where she ran Cross Country and Track and Field. She was one of the few who thought, the longer the race the better! She ran a few marathons, qualified for Boston, and then realized she needed a new challenge so tried triathlon. That was 14 years ago! She has been competing on and off since, but has been the most consistent in training and racing since joining C26 in 2019. She enjoys the full Ironman distance the most. As of September 2023, she will have completed her 8th full distance race. Coach Erin is looking forward to coaching with C26 because she believes as human beings, we are made to accomplish hard things. Showing people they can be gritty, they are capable of doing challenging things, and they are allowed to feel proud is a gift to be involved in. Helping people along this journey and in life is a true gift. Fun Facts About Coach Erin: She fosters and adopts (foster failure) Great Danes from the Great Dane Rescue of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Currently, she has one pup named Odin, master thief and part terrorist. In her spare time, she spends time in Wisconsin with her family. She has a love for mustard and is in a mustard-of-the-month club. She also enjoys an adventure from time to time and hiked rim-to-rim-to-rim in the Grand Canyon—43 miles with 20,000 feet of elevation gain! It took a long 20 hours, but was incredible!
