  Championship season and the rising cost of racing

  Aug 11, 202635 min

  This Is Championship Season (and whatever that means to you!) The summer holidays are over — and for many triathletes, it’s time to switch back on. In this episode, Phil and Grant chat about making the final 7–12 weeks of the season count, why training with intent matters more than simply relying on motivation, and how committing fully now can help you finish the season feeling proud of what you’ve achieved. They also discuss the rising cost of racing and why building a smarter 365-day calendar — combining big goals, affordable races, focused training blocks and genuine downtime — might be the key to getting more enjoyment from triathlon. Be ready when it matters….. This is Championship Season. Let’s make it count.

  Bad few races? Here is how to turn it around

  Jul 2, 202629 min

  A bad race can mess with your confidence—and the first instinct is usually to change everything. But should you? In this episode of Total Tri Coaching, Phil and Grant break down how triathletes should respond when a season feels like it’s slipping off track. They explore why disappointing results don’t always mean your training is broken, and why the first coaching decision isn’t what to change—it’s whether anything needs changing at all. Using a simple three-bucket diagnostic framework, they discuss how to identify whether a poor performance was caused by external factors, race-day execution mistakes, or a genuine underlying issue that requires a dedicated training block. They also cover: • Why most bad races are just noise • How to tell when a pattern is becoming a real problem • The difference between tactical mistakes and physiological limitations • How to build a correction block without derailing your season • The biggest mistakes athletes make when trying to self-correct If your recent races haven’t gone to plan, this episode will help you diagnose the real issue—and avoid making things worse by overreacting.
