Summary:

Coach Justin shares his journey through week nine of training for Ironman Florida 70.3, discussing the adjustments made to his training plan, the challenges faced, and the insights gained. He emphasizes the importance of balancing training volume with recovery, the role of faith in his athletic journey, and the significance of strength training in endurance sports.

Takeaways:

• Training volume increased but maintained balance with recovery.
• Removed lower body strength sessions because that source of stress is no longer necessary at this phase of the training plan.
• Craving for cheeseburgers led to considering iron level check.
• Importance of aero position for windy conditions in Florida.
• Strength training is crucial for endurance sports.
• Faith plays a significant role in Coach Justin's journey.
• Overcoming bike mechanical issues with determination.
• Adjusting training plans based on body signals and recovery needs.
• Sharing training insights and experiences to inspire others.
• No longer looking at triathlon in terms of what he has been able to achieve but instead using triathlon as a way to walk out his faith and trust in God and be thankful and grateful for what God has allowed him to achieve.
