Why can't triathletes take a rest day without feeling like they're losing their identity? This episode exposes the Performance Identity Trap the psychological patterns that make rest feel impossible, the research proving your head matters more than your training volume, and the identity shift that changes everything. Abraham breaks down the addiction pattern you can't see, why "just take a day off" doesn't work, and the R.A.C.E. framework application for building sustainable performance.

This episode is about building a training week that doesn't collapse when life gets heavy.

Most triathletes aren't undertrained they're over-scheduled. They try to force the "perfect" training plan into real life, and when disruption hits (kids get sick, work explodes, sleep suffers), the whole thing shatters. Then comes the guilt, the restart, the cycle.

In this episode, I walk you through the R.A.C.E. framework a recovery-led system for time-constrained athletes who can't afford stop-start training.

You'll learn: • Why your week should be designed for disruption, not perfection • How to identify your reliable training windows (the times that hold even when life is messy) • The minimum weekly structure that keeps you consistent: 2 key sessions, 2 low-friction sessions, 1 recovery day • Why most triathletes periodise backwards (and how to fix it) • How to build a "minimum week" that works when you're tired, busy, and stressed

If you're carrying weight kids, a business, a demanding job and still trying to train consistently, this episode gives you the structure to make it sustainable.

Stop trying to fit triathlon into your life. Build a life-week that can hold triathlon.

You can build a huge engine in triathlon and still keep breaking down.

This episode is a recovery-led breakdown of Strength & Conditioning for Triathletes why “doing some gym” isn’t the same as real S&C, and why most online programs fail the moment your season ramps up.

I start with the moment I learned this the hard way: returning to football and feeling a clear physical bottleneck then meeting a world-class S&C coach who tested me, identified exactly where I was leaking force, and reshaped how I coach forever.

From there, we apply the R.A.C.E. Protocol to triathlon:
Recover (state + adaptation), Align (season + bottlenecks), Condition (robustness + tissue tolerance), Execute(minimum effective dose in-season).

You’ll understand how to build a chassis that can handle volume, intensity, and years in the sport without living in the gym.
