Stuck in a training rut?

This episode is for every triathlete who's hit a plateau.

We dive into why performance stalls (hint: it's not lack of effort), what elite athletes do differently, and how you can reboot your progress.

Plus, we kick things off with a return to our gratitude segment—because mindset matters too.
