We know it’s hot. Are you hydrating enough to take off the sun’s edge? Today, it’s all about how understanding your body, effort and feel make you train (and race) better. We get into obsession with miles per hour, what it really means to be resilient, and how to no be soft in your training. 

We look at time vs. mileage, the ego, and how to learn from bad workouts. Also, micro blocks, hidden blocks, and why you need to let your body wake up. 

Topics:

• Heat and bad decisions
• Panic time?
• When you think you’re too far behind
• Water
• Is it hotter are are we softer?
• Learning resilience 
• Simplifying your training 
• Modern escapism
• Why MPH is overrated in training 
• Garmins in open water
• Doing workouts by effort
• Why you need a short memory in this sport
• Empty expectations from the ego
• Learning from bad workouts
• One session does not make a great workout
• What happened the week before?
• Hidden 5 day blocks
• When you don’t believe the numbers
• Your legs take time to come around
• Let your body wake up
• Own the course and your mind
