Countdown – May 22 – 28, 2023

Peak Week – Triathlon

During this week we are going to tapering into race pace efforts. It is important to be consistent with your workouts and stay focused during this week. Make sure you are resting properly and eating a balanced diet. It is important to start laying out your nutrition plan based upon the efforts asked for you in these key workouts.

You should also be getting familiar with the race course and start to visualize yourself completing it. This week will serve as the finishing touches in your preparation for the race.

The goal of this week is to stay healthy and get ready for a peak performance come race day. Make sure you are checking in with your body. Pay attention to any niggles or aches and take the necessary steps to address them.

Be sure to get plenty of rest so you can be well rested for race day. Remember that a triathlon is at least 70% mental, so keep positive visualizations going throughout this week and stay focused on the ultimate goal of crossing that finish line! Good luck!

The key workouts for this week are:

-Specific long endurance swim, bike and runs (with race pace efforts)

-Brick workout (bike to run with race pace efforts)

-Run intervals (race specific paces)

-Optional strength and/or yoga session.

Good luck in your preparations and best of luck on race day! Have fun and remember to enjoy the journey!

Alcohol and Cortisol

Training is hard work — and it’s important to do everything possible to make sure that you’re getting the most out of every session. Unfortunately, some factors can seriously sabotage your progress, and alcohol and cortisol are two of the biggest culprits. Alcohol not only dehydrates you and messes up your sleep schedule, but it can also wreak havoc on your cortisol levels, leading to decreased muscle production and increased fat storage.

When it comes to alcohol and weight gain, there’s no denying the harsh reality – excessive drinking can lead to a bigger waistline. Not only does alcohol pack a punch in terms of calories (with some drinks containing as much as a slice of pizza), but it also inhibits the body’s ability to properly burn fat. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to cut out alcohol entirely to stay slim. Moderation is key here, and opting for lower calorie options like wine or light beer can help keep you on track. It’s all about finding a balance – enjoying a few drinks with friends while still maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

That’s why it’s so vital to monitor your alcohol intake if you’re serious about your fitness goals — and to make sure that you’re doing everything you can to keep your cortisol levels in check. With a little bit of effort and care, you can ensure that your body is functioning at its very best, and maximize your chances of reaching your training goals.

Finally, it’s important to remember that consistency is key when it comes to getting the results you want. That means not only making sure that you’re following a consistent training schedule but also taking care of yourself outside of the gym — and in particular, managing your alcohol consumption and cortisol levels. With the right amount of focus and commitment, you can ensure that your body is functioning optimally so that you can make the most of every training session. So don’t forget to take care of yourself — and keep reaching for those goals!

By following these tips, you’ll be able to maximize your progress and reach your fitness goals faster than ever before. With a little bit of perseverance and discipline, you can get the most out of your workouts — so don’t forget to take care of yourself, stay motivated, and make sure that you’re looking after those cortisol levels!
