#288 - When Good Is Better Than Great

Published: July 24, 2019, 8:21 p.m.

Should you put more weight on your great workouts or bad? Probably neither because it's a process and everything is a building block. As the pressure builds it's more important to stay level when evaluating yourself. Take a look at where you've come from and figure out how a bunch of "good" workouts are the best way to great. 

Topics:

  • The Spectrum of Athletes 
  • Beginner, Improver, Kona Qualifier?
  • Short Term Memory, Long Term Appreciation
  • Good Days, Bad Days 
  • After the Excitement Wears Off
  • Is It All About What’s Next?
  • Triathlon and Life Should Compliment
  • Let Yourself Float 
  • The Life Metaphor
  • Do we always have to have an answer?
  • Three sports is like spinning plates
  • Expectations are future resentments
  • Why it’s all about showing up
  • Do you feel surprisingly good on Monday?
  • Taking pressure off race goals
  • Is “good” not enough?
  • Shoot for Good over Great
  • Can you restrain yourself in workouts?
  • Strive for the Middle 
  • Appreciate what you’re doing
