The Endurance Athlete Journey
Bonus Cast: Ironman Florida 70.3: An Endurance Athlete’s Journey - Week 12
In this week 12 recap of training for Ironman Florida 70.3, Coach Justin discusses his experiences during a rollback (recovery) week, where the goal was to reduce training volume and shed accumulated fatigue. He highlights the importance of structured training, adapting strategies and the confidence gained from race performance and effective bike training. Justin reflects on balancing training intensity, bike skills development, and the temptation to add unnecessary volume out of fear, ultimately choosing to trust his preparation process. The week reinforced the value of sticking to a well-considered plan, relying on faith, and preparing strategically as race day approaches, with two more high-volume weeks ahead before tapering begins.
