RUN MELBOURNE 🌆 2024 edition is in the books. A strong showing from the JET athletes who took to the streets of Melbourne 🏃 We are strong believers in using winter to build better athletes for racing season. As such we don’t call it an ‘off-season’ - which helps frame the mindset for athletes and coaches alike. Running events are popular during this period, which makes a running project an obvious choice, but there are many other viable options 🏋️ 🏊 At the same time we can both move performance forward and refresh the training approach - it’s a win-win ✅ #jetcoaching #beyourbest #running #triathloncoaching

New paper out 💥 “Health is Just the Basic Requirement for Optimal Performance and Winning”: Stakeholders’ Perceptions on Testing and Training in Competitive Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding and Freestyle Skiing Huge thanks to Caroline Bolling, Jörg Spörri, Evert Verhagen, Vincent Gouttebarge and Peter Balsiger Key findings: 1️⃣ “Winning” was described as the end goal, requiring athletes to compete in their best condition. 2️⃣ Assessing athlete’s status periodically led to the collection of data on their physical and mental status, eventually guiding the next steps in the training plan process. 3️⃣ Goal setting and planning involve communication and shared decision making, supported and driven by an athlete-centred process. 4️⃣ Testing and training practices follow a cyclic pathway, informing for and leading to the starting point of the process. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dvbDVv_n

Racing the reef - a blog post. Fremantle Triathlon Club asked me to do a race write up for the recent newletter and I thought I'd also put it on my blog with a few additions and some extra photos etc. Triathlon is very much about consistency, showing up and putting in the effort in training, being organsied to fit everything in and prioritise your time, managing your mindset, having a plan for race day to manage the controllables and strategies for the uncontrollables. It's a joy to hang out with a bunch of age group athletes at an event like this who are all committed to putting in the best performance they can, and just as enthusiastic about supporting their teammates. Much like being in a really great organisational environment where values align. One of the things l like about triathlon as well is that it's always been an inclusive sport - equal race distances and equal pay across genders for the professionals, plus there's always a para division in the world championship events. Kudos to World Triathlon for putting on such a well-run event. The multi-sport festival spanned 12 days with racing every other day, and thousands of athletes from around the world competing - the whole thing ran like clockwork and the atmosphere around town was fantastic. You're on a high from an experience like this for a long time afterwards. Completing a major goal like this also reignites your enthusiasum to grow and evolve on your return, in lots of areas of life, not just in sport. At least for me anyway!

Making this a topic of discussion brings vision for the future.

Did you know IoTAS sponsor a Triathlon Club? 🏊🏼 Triathlon is a multi-sport event combining swimming, cycling, and running 🚴🏼 Events can range in length and duration varies from sprint distance which is a few miles to 140 plus miles 🏃🏼 Depending on the event the conditions can also differ greatly; swimming maybe in the sea or an indoor pool and cycling or running could be on rolling hills or a flat coastal road Last month several of the Tri Squad members took part in the Outlaw Holkham events. The weekend of racing comprised of: ✅ Outlaw Half Holkham: 1.2 Mile Swim, 56 Mile Bike and 13.1 Mile Run ✅ Outlaw Half Holkham Aqua bike: 1.2 Mile Swim and 56 Mile Bike ✅ Outlaw Gravel Sprint Holkham: 750m Swim, 20km Bike and 5km Run ✅ Holkham 10k: 10km Run ✅ Future Outlaw Holkham 1.2 or 2.4 Miles It was a tough day for all competitors on Sunday with a head wind throughout the majority of the undulating bike ride. With the challenging bike stage, there was then a particularly difficult 13.1 mile run to finish off the event. There were still some fantastic results over the weekend at this superb event run by Outlaw! 👏🏼 As in business, preparation is key, and it makes life much easier. But also in business, when things do not go according to plan, having serious will power in your tool box is something that comes in very handy.

It’s race week for the @lajollahalfmarathon! This will be my 8th year running this beautiful, hilly course. People often ask, why do you run the same race year after year? Well, like a lot of runners, I'm a bit of a creature of habit. There's a few reasons I love running the same race multiple times: 💥Familiar Course No surprises about where the hills are, where the turnaround points are, when to start my kick. With no guesswork, I'm able to focus on running a strong race 💥Compare Progress Running YOY gives me a good outlook of how I'm improving/sucking at running - I can assess if it's been a good/bad training block, or if age is slowly creeping on a come up! 💥Support local Let's face it, running isn't exactly a cheap sport. Race entries can be pricey! Throw in travel, etc. before you know it, pockets like bunny ears! Smaller races & distances are more affordable and can still be high quality events. 💥Previous success I’ve done pretty well over the years. Five of them, I’ve ran 1:30 or better. Three times I’ve placed top three for my age group. With some good success over the years at this race, it makes me want to sign up again to see if I can make magic happen one more time! Are you running this race? Remember, the race is Saturday, not Sunday!
