In my 12+ years of endurance coaching - both running & and triathlon, I've seen one thing way too many times

And it's what will hold back your progress and worse what might lead to underrecovery, athletic burnout and losing your joy for your sport and your motivation

Doing the same thing year in year out, same intensity, same distances lots of races throughout the entire year and then the disappointment that your results weren't meeting your expectations and your dedication to your training

Periodizing your training year is so much more than tapering for an A race.

It means scheduling proper time off post-season like yes, no running or swim-bike-run for a couple of weeks. You won't lose all your gains and fitness - it is vital for training sustainably. On top of that, it refreshes the mind, too.

Proper base training focusing on endurance and building your engine- your physiology will thank you

Build and peak phases where training is becoming more intense and specific to your race(s)

If you feel like you're stuck in a rut and not seeing a return on investment in your training, let's chat 📧📲📞

Outcome vs Process

Too much focus on performance outcomes can lead to increased anxiety and physical tension.

But also, maybe more importantly it can hinder progress.

Why is that? In technical sports progress often only comes through improving technical skills and form.

This can go hand in hand with a temporary slowing down of skill ex*****on and therefore reduced performance.

These changes are necessary for long-term improvement.

So focusing on the process of improving your skills rather than solely the outcome and accepting a temporary drop in performance is what is actually necessary for you making the next step up in your sport

Goals and Planning for a new season

Triathlon season is definitely slowly coming to an end... unless you live in the Southern hemisphere obviously.

Running season depends on your race schedule...But the last quarter of the year is when people start making plans for the year ahead.

This is actually about much more than setting new goals. This time is about taking stock, reflecting and not necessarily rushing into booking up all your race season straight away

So, take time at the end of a race season to reflect on your races. Good, bad...Write things down. Hopefully you may have done this during the season, then it's a matter of reviewing your notes.

This can provide clarity of how to move on, what's possible next year and provide you with more realistic data to support your decision making.

Take a step back and honestly think about why you're doing what you're doing. That might be super clear or maybe you realize you have been chasing another new distance, the next event that's even more challenging, a PB for so long that you've forgotten about your aspirations and what truly drives you. Sometimes looking back at where you started and why can give you some clarity and renew your motivation

Then look to align your new season goals with the values you've identified. Now you can get into the planning stage and set intentions for how to show up in your training to smash those goals.

Make sure you identify your longer term goals (outcome and performance) AND then get a more granular view of the actual training required and set process (shorter term) goals.

Don't forget to identify what's required outside of swim-bike-run or running that supports your ambitions, i.e. physical conditioning, mental preparation, resources (people, time, money etc) and think about potential additional challenges that might get in the way.

As you can see goalsetting and planning is about much more than identifying A/B and C races and getting a training plan off the Internet..

Let's have a chat if you're looking to set fresh goals and plan for 2027 and need a fresh point of view from someone with coaching and practical experience

Self-reflection as part of a post-performance routine

Having a structured approach to self-reflection after a performance, competition or training is in my opinion from what I see daily an underutilised mental skill.

The key to self-reflection that moves you forward is:

- Writing ✍️ it down. Not only helps this channel your thoughts rather than just ruminating over what went wrong, it also means you can return to it as a reminder.

- Be honest, there's no hiding here, nor is the exercise going to bring you forward, unless you are honest

- Focus on both what went well and what didn't.

- Decide what is more and what is less important in your review. Create a hierarchy.

- What is in your control and what isn't.

- Take this a step further reflect on what strengths you can build on and which weaknesses you can't ignore. We want to work on both.

- Ask yourself what do I need to do in the next training session/competition. Make a plan and execute

- Implement your learnings in training, review for your next performance

Is self-reflection part of your routine?

OFF SEASON BLUES?

If you're a triathlete or long distance/track runner, maybe your season has already ended, or it will over the next few weeks after one of the late season races.

How does that make you feel?
Are you a bit tired mentally and physically but already pushing ahead towards next season not having even taken a week off. Do you feel a bit flat and demotivated, but you can't put your finger on why that is?

Do you only ever take time off training when you're forced to through injury or illness?

That was certainly me 10yrs+ ago when I went straight from Ironman to a triathlon training camp (where the coach pushed as all equally despite being in different phases of training) to resuming normal training once back home and then running and hiring a bike jyst so i could keep on training during my trip overseas . The year after, I had to cancel the majority of my races because I was too run down. Batteries empty, not able to train consistently.

The pros take some time off after a busy race season. They're active, yes, but not with swim, bike run, and nothing too structured. We should do the same! More so because we handle training, family, AND work life. Something has to give. All my clients have periods of time off/unstructured activity for a mental and physical reset

If you're struggling with allowing yourself to step away from training for a week or two, let's have a chat.

(Pre) performance routines

We can't rely on confidence alone for a great performance. Nor can we rely on conditions around the competition to be perfect. There's only so much that is within our control.

That's why it is important to have a pre performance routine that gets us mentally and physically ready and a few go to routines during a competition to deal with i.e fatigue, loss of focus, distractions, circumstances outside our control and non functional self-talk.

It's important to find routines that work for you, i.e if you struggle with imagery, you might benefit more from instructional self talk and vice versa. Your sport psychologist can support you in finding the tool(s) that work best for you.
It's also important to stay somewhat flexible so that you're not thrown off kilter completely by your go to routine not working in a particular moment and context.
This is something you can and should think about and practice outside of the actual competition, just like you do with your physical training hours.

Are you making sure you're READY for your performance?

Mental Blocks

In both my work as a coach and a Sport Psychologist (in.T.) I help individuals deal with mental blocks.

I purposely don't say remove them because they often don't go away completely. However, we start recognising the thoughts that contribute to the mental block and can them go..no not today and we learn to navigate (around) them.

Mental blocks can be big or small, fairly new or thoroughly ingrained in our mind, they can be fairly easy to tackle or sometimes we need to do quite a bit of work until we are able to manage them.

They are there because we have internalised particular experiences and our brain defaults to a particular thought especially when stressed or under pressure.

They are there because of stories we have told ourselves so that we believe we can or cannot or should not do something, often because society, a coach, a friend, a teacher, a family member anyone really has said things that strengthen that belief and it is hard to find our own way out of that way of thinking.

If you feel stuck in a bit of a rut and you feel like you're mind(set) is holding you back whether that be in your sport or in improving your physical health DM me using 'Mentalblock' or add a comment and we can have a chat.
