#715 – Working Backwards From Your Goal

Episode • Sep 19, 2023 • 1h 1m

The best ability is . . . availability. Today we look at triathlon as a year round sport and why now is a great time to start working backwards from your goal. A lot of us are “all in” or “all out” this time of year, but staying with the program now makes everything easier, and more effective in the future. Now is the time to stay in the game and build the base you want to work from next year. It’s like studying for final exams in small doses instead of cramming each year. Figure out what makes you excited and work on that. Put yourself first right now. Create that “don’t think about it” volume. Take care of nagging injuries by working on body mobility and balance. Set yourself up for wins now. Be available. Be consistent. And be way ahead of the game. Also, we talk about Louisville being back on the table for racing.
