  • Podcast has turned into an advertisement for becoming a member

    Used to be a staple of my triathlon and fitness education and was a former PP athlete but I feel that podcasts as of late are just advertisements for becoming a PP athlete.

  • Used to be better

    I was a big follower and also bought the books. However in the last year or so, this seems to have become a commercial platform pushing testing companies and other products. Has become a lot like Triathlon Taren (Motiv). Hopefully can come back from this…..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Win Cycle: Mental Performance Specialist Jeff Troesch on Race Anxiety, Confidence, and the Mental Game of Racing Your Best
Q: What is a practical exercise listeners can start with now to reduce perfectionistic thinking?
Begin by challenging whether thoughts are fact or opinion and assess whether they are helpful; use race journals to document concrete progress and remind yourself of what you can control rather than chasing an unattainable perfection.
Win Cycle: Mental Performance Specialist Jeff Troesch on Race Anxiety, Confidence, and the Mental Game of Racing Your Best
Q: How should athletes frame confidence in the weeks leading up to a race?
Confidence is a choice about what you give power to in the moment; focus on factual evidence of training and proven traits, and keep confidence anchored in those realities rather than shifting self-doubt based on mood.
Win Cycle: Mental Performance Specialist Jeff Troesch on Race Anxiety, Confidence, and the Mental Game of Racing Your Best
Q: Is race anxiety something to try to eliminate from the brain, or is there a role for it?
It's essential to recognize nerves as a physiological activation up to a point, but anxiety is the cognitive interpretation that can hinder performance; the goal is to manage and reinterpret it so it supports, not sabotages, performance.
399 - A 2:34 Boston Marathon on 35mi/week: Rewriting The Marathon Training Playbook
Q: What advice would you give someone aiming for their first marathon?
Find a community you trust, rely on a flexible plan, and focus on the component parts (tempo, hills, threshold work) rather than chasing the full marathon every week; trust that the integrated system will come together at race pace.
399 - A 2:34 Boston Marathon on 35mi/week: Rewriting The Marathon Training Playbook
Q: How did coaching and the support network help you stay on track?
Brad's routine check-ins, clear explanations of weekly goals, and the ability to tailor sessions around life events kept me accountable and confident, while Renee's proactive mobility work prevented setbacks and maintained race-readiness.
