Crushing Iron Podcast #370
This title comes from two things: The strategy behind days off and cherishing the ability to do what you do before you can’t anymore. How good perspective can minimize stress and increase enjoyability. There’s also TONS of cycling talk, including power, cadence and riding against the wind, and how to taper/prepare for two races that might wind up close together. Toward the end we discuss an awesome post from an athlete who described his “when” as his why. How being grateful for what you are able to do can be a genuine motivator to enjoy the possibilities of each day.
