Crushing Iron Triathlon Podcast

This is the first time in over two and a half years we've missed a Monday or a Thursday release, and the reason is a good one. It also sets up the bigger discussion about how we should be grateful to be able to do this sport and why it's important to appreciate that every day of training. We do this for fun, for hobby, and to feel good. As always, strive to be healthy and happy first.  Topics:  Robbie’s Mom Story Slow vs. Fast and when Work vs. Good Work Fine balance of feeling good and fatigue Doing workouts just because they’re on the schedule  Lack of sleep  Brain vs. Body Stress  Do We Appreciate what we’re doing for our Body and Mind?  Understanding “ALL OUT” in workouts Track Tuesday Tribulations Speed work IS NOT the only way to get fast What’s your 5K “Effort" really mean??
