It’s the time of year when we all need a little pep talk to keep showing up. Just when things seem like they’re getting too tough is usually when you’re about to make a breakthrough, so stick with it. In this case that breakthrough might be Spring and a revitalized energy. Stay in the ballpark. We get into the monotony of endurance training, being game for anything this time of year, and being patient through your training blocks. We look at how many athletes get too specific too early in their training cycle. We talk about developing a wide range as a triathlete. We look at creating a “find a way” mentality. And the power of conquering workouts that aren’t going well. Wilt or grow and laugh in the face of absurdity.
