- Over the past couple of months I have written a series of posts where I shared my method of planning out a triathlon season. Today’s will take another step down the rabbit hole and provide some insight on my thoughts on the general preparation period for an Ironman, a follow-up to this article will be my thoughts on …
Read More So the last few weeks have seen me getting into a mood for writing, but after couple of posts talking about my view on season planning, I’m sort of drawing a blank on what to write about.
If there’s any subject (triathlon/athletics training/philosopy related only please) that you’d like to get *my* opinion on, leave a …

Hopefully, you’ve take the time to divide your personality in two (or better yet, tapped a close friend to answer from an outside perspective) and examine your season and future from both the perspective of the athlete …
