This is our 600th podcast, but there's no fanfare… we just keep showing up. We started doing only Monday and Thursday, but sometimes that didn't always work out for us and staying too regimented could made us lose steam. Be flexible, recover, do what's right for the long-term growth. Today we dive into mid-season training and how tough it can be to stay motivated when you might not be seeing a ton of progress in the heat. We look at ways to find the little wins that keep you going toward the big goals. We talk about subtle clues, and training relative to how you feel. Also talk about ways to reframe your days off and maximize recovery days. We do this to be healthy and happy, so learn to appreciate how triathlon is helping you on a day to day level.
