We talk about how it affects Strava, we look at all the noise in training and discuss technology as good or bad. We look into training and racing by feel and the Tour and Challenge Roth. We take a deep dive into metrics and which ones you should be training with and how to add more. We talk HRV and adjusting workouts each day or on the fly. We look at the trend of forcing more carbs and along with the Norwegian training method and why you might want to think twice. Get obsessed with the basics, then add layers to the recipe.

#941 – Embrace Each Day As It Comes
Today we look at the nuances of looking forward to training each day as it comes. We talk about the importance of training where your fitness is vs. cramming for a race and why that will serve you better in the long run. We look at feeling younger as you get older. We talk about Guess Jeans, the Tour, and how a lot of times you're competing against ex-pros. We look at the faults in being obsessed with race times, especially when they may not be realistic. We talk what it takes to be the best in the world and more importantly what it takes to be the best you can be with your circumstances. Training is much more enjoyable when we can look at it as a long term journey and we tackle work in a way that makes more sense as it aligns with our current fitness. Consistency over peaks and valleys. Be the best version of yourself. Topics: Lake Placid and Ohio Your first time at a race venue Vingegaard out of the Tour What does winning look like for you? To be the best in the world Look like you're having fun Being as great as YOU can be Our own version of ourselves Narrow and blurry vision Putting all the stock in racing Me, me, me Accepting where you're at in training Feeling younger as you get older Being in shape to actually do the work Train where you're at Embrace each day as it comes Wrapped up in your time Guess Jeans Pedro Gomes wins AG at Lake Placid Addictive personalities Stop today so you can look forward to tomorrow Finite amounts of energy Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#940 - What's The Quantity of Your Quality?
Today we look at how the little things matter. Quality over quantity is a good benchmark, but how much actual quality work are you doing? And, how do we actually define quality? First we discuss whether our old podcasts hold up and where we think our positions have changed over 10 years. Then we discuss things like is 5 x 1200's in the pool better than 2 x 3000 per week? Or what about 5 x 30 minute runs vs. one 2:30? We get into how to build confidence, familiarity, and muscle memory go a long ways toward your goals, and even confidence in life. Should you jump on the bike for 20 minutes when you're bored? Will it matter? A lot of people talk about quality over quantity, but what about the Quantity of Quality? Negative splitting everything. We talk imposter syndrome, weekend warriors, and the bitter truth about Ironman. Topics: How do our old podcasts hold up? What beliefs have we changed since starting the podcast? Is 5 x 1200's better than 2 x 3,000 in the pool? What about 5 x 30 minute runs vs. one 2:30 run? How to add little sessions that add results instead of scrolling What is a good cycling frequency? Sneaking in 20 minute runs The reality of getting out of a rut What motivation really is Learn how to see the benefits of what you're doing Choosing action Working in simple mobility and strength Something is better than nothing Negative splitting everything The quantity of quality The monogetti run Imposter syndrome Don't pay attention to the triathletes that are a-holes Frequency is confidence When confidence builds The bitter truth about Ironman Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#939 – Listener Q&A 7-16-26
Back again with some great questions from you!! We start with the ongoing dilemma of speed work and how to handle it best when training for long course racing. We talk with what we thought was an ex-Badger lineman about how much to increase bike volume from a 70.3 to a full. We discuss what makes a race course "fair" vs. something we feel is getting dumbed down. We talk about the warm up as it relates to racing and how we can somehow feel better after going deep into training sets. Plus, much more sprinkled in to take you to the top of the podium, or simply feel better and stick with your plan. Topics: Tour de France What a controlled swim feels like Speed work, track work and it's relation to triathlon long course training Does a former Badger lineman jump into the question pool? How much should you increase cycling volume from a 70.3 to a full and how do you implement it Nutrition ratio secretes What makes a race course "fair?" That interesting phenomenon about getting faster when deep into training sets and how does it translate to racing? Tubeless tires and PSI and flats etc… Should you work with a coach year-round? Pacing and racing. A trip back through memory lane Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

#938 – Listener Q & A
The first of two Q&A's and we start with the obligatory heat discussion. We'll have another Q&A on Thursday, then hopefully a traditional cast on Friday to help with your long ride or run. We talk about getting back into training after a break. We look at life's challenges with training. We get into how to let the workout build on its own. We look at the challenge of being enthusiastic but not getting faster. How to fix your swim one point at a time. What about training for a marathon and using the triathlon mix? His first Kona and a discussion about how to make it a successful day. Topics: Sitting in the heat vs training in the heat Staring over after a long break All layoffs are created equally The poison of life Start slow - let it build on its own When you're enthusiastic but not getting faster in the swim Don't work on the whole stroke Swim like a swimmer Triathlon Training for marathons How to handle Kona The team is back on the race course!

#937 – Are You Cheating Your Training?
We all like to say we like doing hard things, but are we cherry picking those experiences? Today, we dive into how most of us tend to create the best conditions and chase good days by taking shortcuts. We argue that creating friction in training is really the ultimate way to prepare for the hardest days - race days. How long can you go without reaching for a training crutch when things aren't going well? Do you figure out a way or just take the easy route? Doing something hard usually means it's uncomfortable and today we look at ways to seek that out so you're at your strongest on race day. Topics: The heat is on in training and racing The Tour Trainer silence Swimming in hot water and or elevation Running and cycling in heat Is it heat acclimation or building fitness or both? Race day boosts Handling long trainer rides How long can you hold off your fix? Always using a training crutch Transitions in day to day life Clear goals Maximizing the best we can be Creating FRICTION in training Really preparing for the hardest days Coddling to protect our ego Quit analyzing every session Chasing good days with shortcuts Cherry picking hard things Hard is uncomfortable Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com
