#854 – Training To Hit Your Race Goals

Do you keep struggling to hit your race goals but can’t figure out why? Today, we give you some clear thoughts and solid strategies to improve your swim, bike, and run speed. Are you selling yourself short in one or more of the distances just because one comes more naturally? We dive into specific training techniques that will help you build the right way with your eye on a certain race goal pace/power, etc… You are most likely selling yourself short, but it is possible. The hard parts are working hard enough, taking ample recovery, and being patient.

Topics:

• Establish a demand of what you need to hold
• How fast do you want to go?
• Triathlon has different demands than a straight run race

• Are you selling yourself short on the bike?
• Do you have belief that you can do more?
• What comes after setting a pace goal?
• Race pace and what it means in training

• Shorter intervals at your goal paces
• It is all realistic but it will take time
• Swimming intervals in open water
