Endurance Files: December 1, 2007
∑ VeloNews reported that T-Mobile has dropped out of cycling due to the never-ending saga of dopers. Hell, either clean up the sport or regulate the doping. Physiologically, there is probably a small variation in the range of fitness, skill and strategy at the elite level. It’s no wonder they look to any edge they can get to earn a podium spot and bring home some money. I wonder when this will really hit triathlon? Probably not until the prize money becomes more substantial.
∑ The goal-setting fever that envelopes this time of year is starting to pop-up in various discussions with friends, athletes and colleagues. Alwyn Cosgrove offers up some simple, yet effective, suggestions, on creating the goal snowball.
∑ In keeping with the “keep it simple” theme, Eric Cressey writes about the “Golden Rules” (my words, not his) when stepping foot in the gym. Triathletes? Hello? You are moving a bit of iron around aren’t you?
∑ A comment on Coach Paulo Sousa’s blog sums up his post on changing out your weekly training programs: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.” (Heraclitus). You can gain a bit more insight on Sousa’s coaching philosophy by reading the brief interview I did with him in mid-November.
∑ Alan Couzens talks about consistency (a continual challenge for me) during the off season in “Making the Most of Your Preparatory Period.”
