The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and motivation for the masses

I used to be addicted to my heart rate monitor but now I haven't worn one for 2 years. How do I feel about that? I came to grips with it today.

We all spend so much time swimming and biking and running. Should we also throw in strength training? Who has the time? I have a great solution for you - bodyweight training at home!

Do you want a link to the video I've been training along with for the past 6 months? Email me at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com and I'll share, no questions asked,

I'm going to let you in on a BIG change coming soon! It won't happen for a couple more months but I can't wait, I just have to let you know about it early.

Also, if you are interested in hearing about my "AI Coach", drop me a line at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com and I'll fill you in.

It does! But not without a little help. Keep listening to learn my new secret to wonderful smelling nether regions.

Does your crotch smell better than mine? Please explain how by emailing me at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com

We all have dreams. Most of us never achieve them. Why? Because we think having a wish or a dream is enough when it isn't, we need goals! And the great news is that we can all control whether we set goals or not.

Have you achieved a dream via goal setting? I'd love to hear about it, send me a note at thelnelytriathlete@gmail.com

This is a no brainer, you have full control over how you train, when you train and how often you train. Even better, you can control the consistent effort that you bring to your training. Easy? Not always. Powerfully effective? Yes!

The forgotten (or minimized) tool for optimal performance - recovery! You have much more control over your physical and emotional recovery than you may think. I run though a bunch of "keys" to optimize your recovery with an emphasis on sleep. I then end with a discussion on Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and the benefits that can occur from measuring and tracking this metric. Take control of your recovery!

You have 100% control over what you put in your mouth. So why do you eat things that you know are not good for you? I argue that it is a combination of: history, social and cultural influence, family and friends, laziness and perhaps a lack of intention. But that can be overcome! You can change what you eat (over time) which can have a tremendously positive impact on your health and athletic performance. Let’s discuss!

I had a terrible week, health-wise. And yes, you will learn if I, as a mighty triathlete, decided to poop in my shorts this week. But as you will learn, I actually had more CONTROL over whether I did or not poop my pants than I thought OR, at the very least, how I felt about doing or not doing that thing.

Folks, it was a hard week.

Many studies have shown that Hydrogen Enriched Water (regular old water that has extra Hydrogen gas added to it) provides significant health and performance benefits. Over 1,200 studies to date have examined these benefits! I am shocked that I'm only hearing about this now.

Do you drink this enriched water? Have you seen any benefits? Please email me and share, I am fascinated by this! thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com

I have always, always been an evening person, a sleeper-inner, a night owl. There was no way I would change or could change, it was who  I was. Or was it? All it took to experience a radical transformation was months of consistent sunrises and sunsets.

Let's face it, Ironman training can be long and/or boring, especially if you do most of it alone. But does it have to ruin your social life? A Reddit user posed this question to the forum and I read through and comment on many of the answers.

How do you avoid your training ruining your social life? I'd love to hear from you at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com

Imagine incorporating small, sustainable, unconscious habits into your daily life that result in years of improved health and happiness. It is within your power! You just have to decide to do it.

Let me know the habits you've recently decided to incorporate (or eliminate) at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com

Peace! 

Happy New Year!

This year I resolved to do 2 things: reduce my (minor) snoring and increase the strength in my outer hips. What better way to do this than by throwing some good old mouth tape and rubber at the problem. What's that? Listen and find out.
