Winning

quote

"The challenge for me is simple. I always want to do well, always want to win. I don't need anybody else to establish the challenge for me." - José Mourinho

Part of the deal

A reminder by coach McMillan. Here's a great quote:

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that running [triathlon] is not a straight line of improvement and happy times. It has periods that are dark and troubling. But, and here is the message, you have to live through it. It's part of the deal. You have to buckle down and do the things you need to do to get through it. Sometimes that means taking a break and starting over. Sometimes that means focusing more on the non-running [triathlon] activities and sometimes it just means keeping on keeping on. Whatever your situation, just hang in there. We have so many great stories about how athletes come back from adversity. You can do it too."

Dear Hunter Allen

Dear Mr Allen,

I would like to thank you for the personal email you sent me. I was very excited when I saw that you sent me the "March Power Tip."

Unfortunately, I have rather bad news for you. There really isn't such a thing as "Anaerobic Capacity repeatability." There is Anaerobic Power and Anaerobic Capacity. What you call "Anaerobic Capacity repeatability" is really... Anaerobic Capacity. What you termed as "endurance at Anaerobic Capacity" is again... Anaerobic Capacity.

Your strategy to build Anaerobic Capacity is of course debatable, since for example, I would take the opposite route. But I admit that I don't have any evidence pointing to the validity of either approach.

Other than this, I really enjoyed reading your email, so thanks again!

Sincerely,

Paulo
