My Name Is Structure

The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and... ·

2024/11/11

Send us a textI am not a "natural planner". I don't enjoy planning or making lists, that feels too restrictive to me. I want the freedom to change at a moment's notice, make decisions at the last second, be free! And yet, once I embarked on following a structured endurance plan, everything got better and I'd never go back to winging it again.

Packing On The Pounds

The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and... ·

2024/11/05

Send us a textOh, don't we all love the off season/early season when we gain all that extra bodyfat? Not! Every year I resolve not to gain any weight in the post-race season and every year I fail. Sigh. I've learned to embrace it and I'm even wondering if it isn't actually beneficial? Beneficial you say? Yeah, I'm probably just justifying my extra fluffiness.Btw, if you have experience with those swim trainers (e.g. VASA) can you drop me a line at thelonelytriathlete@gmail.com and let me know...

2024/10/28

Send us a textI think I'm sick. What if it's Covid? Should I train anyway, since I don't feel that sick? What's it's the flu or even just a mild cold? What should I do? Wait, I'm on vacation. I think I have my answer.

2024/10/06

Send us a textAnother season of training is underway! And this time I've decided to take on Ironman 70.3 Victoria (Canada). 1 week into training and some things are working as expected while other parts of my plan just haven't fallen into place yet. But that's OK because it is early i the season and this is the best time to make mistakes, try something new and figure things out.

Training Feels Like a Drug

The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and... ·

2024/09/01

Send us a textI was overwhelmed by the feeling of gratitude after my last training session. I mean, I was SMACKED with an incredible feeling of joy and happiness, almost like I had taken a drug. But I did take a drug, the training drug. I'm convinced that training does more than just make you physically healthy, I think it lends itself to emotional health, too.
