We are well and truly in the depths of Build Week 2, so take comfort in knowing that we are all in the same boat. Yes, it is supposed to be feeling tough. Yes, you are probably feeling tired. And yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Remember back to last week when we talked through our 3-week periodization in our programs? And the importance of riding the peaks and troughs for adaptation to occur? And no doubt you went on to learn more about the training zone and phases of training…??? We hope so, as we cannot stress the importance of understanding your training and knowing where you are and where you are heading. If you don’t know the purpose of each session, how can you possibly assign appropriate intensity and appreciate the steps you are taking toward the bigger picture? If you didn’t get a chance (!) maybe head back and do it this week :) Thank you to everyone who came along to our Team Meeting last week. It was very successful and provided the perfect opportunity to gather information, share experiences and set goals for the upcoming season. But as everyone there knows, the next step is helping one another to stay motivated and be accountable. Below are the links to continue this conversation and get connected. Over the weekend, we had a range of athletes competing across the globe! Make sure you follow the link to hear all about the Gold Coast marathon festival, Challenge Roth and the NYC triathlon in the Weekend Wrap Up. This week we’ve also included some important info on elastic laces, start times of morning training sessions in July, Eddy’s movie pick and the important deets for the weekend training sessions. And for a little bit of fun ( = social time!), we thought it might be a good idea to organise a MOVIE NIGHT for the upcoming release of We Are Triathletes on the 8th August. Make sure you read the info and let us know asap if you’re interested in hanging out….with popcorn! Without further ado, it’s time for you all to ….. R E A D O N |
