An important ramble and wander by Robbie and Mike

This  “C26 Triathlon” podcast provides a discussion between two coaches about the mental and physical aspects of preparing for Iron Man and other triathlon races. They emphasize the importance of mental fortitude, discipline, and consistent effort in the final weeks leading up to a race, cautioning against “mailing it in” or losing focus due to fatigue or self-doubt. The conversation also touches upon practical tips for race preparation, such as bike maintenance and visualizing success, and highlights how the mind can be a powerful tool or hindrance in achieving athletic goals. They also discuss the common pitfalls athletes experience during the tapering period, including magnified anxieties and physical discomfort, and offer strategies for maintaining a positive and focused mindset through race day.
