We’re going to do something a little different in here. I want to know what you’re actually training for right now. Drop three things in the comments: 1️⃣ What are you training for? 2️⃣ When is it? 3️⃣ How many days per week are you strength training right now? That’s it. I’ll give you my take on what your strength-training priority should be right now based on where you are in your season. Your strength training shouldn’t look the same all year. What you need in the off-season isn’t necessarily what you need six weeks from race day, and it’s definitely not what you need during race week.

I knew this weekend would challenge my training. You can have a plan, but you still have to adjust to reality. Yesterday was supposed to be a swim and strength session after a 6.5-hour drive and a race preview for my athletes. Adapted: No pool available—so we previewed the swim course instead. Not the planned distance or intervals, but still time in the water. Added a ride on the bike course for some easy aerobic work. Finished with a quick 22-minute bodyweight session in the hotel gym. Plans can’t be set in stone. The goal is to find a way to get something in. That’s the win. Today calls for a long ride and another strength session… might need to have a conversation with my coach. 😉

Quick check-in for the group: How’s everyone feeling heading into the weekend? Not just physically, overall. Training, strength work, recovery, life… it all counts. One thing I’ve been thinking about with this whole May Reset is that progress is rarely about having the perfect week. A lot of the time, it’s just about staying connected to the process even when things feel a little chaotic. So this afternoon, take a second and check in with yourself: What feels good right now? What feels a little off? What do you want to carry into next week? You can keep it simple. Drop one word, one thought, or one win below. 👇 or DM

Today’s focus is simple: Get the first strength session in. No extra drama. No waiting for the perfect window. No making it bigger than it needs to be. Just do the session you planned to do. At this point in the month, the win is not chasing some huge finish. The win is following through on the basics and proving to yourself that strength work can stay part of your routine when life and training are both full. Today’s reminder: You do not need to feel fired up to be consistent. You just need to do the next thing you said you were going to do. Check in with one: - DONE = first session is in - LATER = getting it done later today - BACK ON TRACK = not perfect, but I’m moving today Drop yours below. 👇 or DM
