227 Halfway There (Part 2) - Endurance and Triathlon Performance Lessons from 2022 So Far
Matt DixonEpisode Description
In part 2 of our observations and lessons of 2022 so far, Matt takes a step beyond life performance and focuses on endurance sports and triathlon performance.
After two years without specific goal-driven events to anchor training to, many athletes are either searching to build on the positive adaptions made during the shutdown or are looking to get their training back on track.
Matt shares key insights on the habits born during the lull of the past two years and offers an approach to adapting the "pandemic training plan" to the new normal we face as the demands of life build momentum.
Matt explores five main observations and lessons of 2022 to help you plot your second half of the year of performance as key races loom.
- Failures to Perform in Context: Adapting the training approach to the demands of life.
(11:26) “we're really starting to see way too many athletes for my liking, that are looking to maintain the same let's call it pandemic training program, under the context of an environment in where the total stress accumulation from the other aspects of life is simply too high."
-
The Fueling and Hydration Revolution: Finding the caloric mix and fluid balance that works for you.
-
The Power of the Soul Filler: Fitting me-time into your training program
(20:48) “Have a certain percentage of your training, actually play a role in life as a decompressor. A little bit of me-time, a little bit of protected time where you do something that's enjoyable...and while you're doing it, you're very gently building cardiovascular conditioning, muscular tissue resilience, et cetera, et cetera."
- The Performance Train is Leaving the Station: Choosing to adapt, evolve and avoid failed approaches.
(27:28) “I think it's time to adapt your approach, draw the lessons of the last couple of years that were full of horror, and angst and anxiety, but also a great opportunity to imprint some really positive habits and a more pragmatic and smart approach to your overall training."
- We Are Social Beings: Feeding off the desire to improve.
The goal of this episode is to help you approach the second half of the year with renewed vigor and a foundation for building healthy and positive adaptations in a time-starved life.
