In this episode I muse about the cons of being an aging triathlete. Was this brought on because of my low back pain? You bet. Sigh.

Note: in this episode neat the beginning I reference only being able to hold my Threshold power for 20 minutes, I meant 1 hour. We all should theoretically be able to cycle at FTP for 1 hour.

Be honest. Are you a beginner, intermediate or expert? Do you ever experience anxiety in the water? Does the notion of swimming in an ocean with 1000 other thrashing swimmers unnerve you? If you answer these questions honestly you can take immediate action to ensure that swimming will never fill you with anxiety again.

Should you do an easy spin for 30 minutes? Should you go for a recovery run? Or, should you just take the day completely off. Completely off?! Yeah, sometimes that's the best thing to do.

I'm lifting weights again and WOW am I ever sore. So sore! In fact, for tomorrow my coaching program dialed back my V02max cycle session to aerobic endurance. And I'm thankful because I can barely climb the stairs in my home without moaning out loud.

And I love it.

If you aren't doing some strength work then you are leaving some performance behind. The science is clear: strength training improves efficiency, force production, speed, fatigue resistance and reduces injury risk. I'm finally getting "back in the gym" so to speak.

You are literally not the same athlete after training as you were before. A single training session sends signals to your heart, muscles and brain to change. Adapt or die! So cool.
