#802 – Building Off-Season Momentum

Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

Now is the time to look deep inside and figure out where you want to go, what makes you happy, and how to find love of the process. We look at the post season mindset and investigate how what we learned can be a catalyst going forward. What do we really need to work on? Strength, endurance, overall health, attitude, our why? We also talk about how just sticking around and staying in the ballpark can make you a completely different athlete next season. We are often too deep in the inertia to realize how far we’ve come and how this sport and training has made us stronger and healthier people. It’s a time to reflect, appreciate, and keep moving forward.
