My wife and I decided to turn our guest bedroom into a workout room. It's looking really nice with a trainer, Bowflex, a big high speed fan on the all, LCD TV/Monitor, and soft mats on the floor. I thought about decorating it with inspirational posters, but then I had the idea to write quotes on the walls.

Actually what I want to know is: If there are terms of motivation, technical terms, words that are fit to Triathlon. It may even be in English. The idea is to motivate the practice of shirts Triathlon. Sorry for my english, i'm from Florianópolis Brazil

So I have been asked to talk to a group of inmates at a youth correctional facility in the town that I grew up in. I am coming in as part of the outreach program, a counseling sort of thing I suppose. They asked me to talk about the races that I’ve done, why I do strange things like triathlons etc and I reluctantly said yes.

I've competed in 7 triathlons over the course of the summer and am feeling totally burnt out. I still have one left on Sept. 6. My muscles feel fatigued and I'm struggling to find the motivation to keep training for the next week. Anyone have any great stuggestions to keep in it for the last couple weeks? I'm debating whether to do it or not at this point....

Entering my second year of tri's and ramping from Sprints/OLY to OLY's/half.... Any tips for training indoors (I have a Kinetic fluid trainer)??? I'm really struggling to stay on the bike for more than 45 min-1hr even though I need to be putting some longer rides in.... tried music, TV, etc but I get so bored all I want to do is stop!

If this has already been a recent topic, I will apologize upfront. Pain is the sensation of weakness leaving the body!

I was thinking about something the other day while I was out training. Why do we do triathlon?

The mind is as important as the body when it comes to success in sports. This is especially true for long duration events, like an Ironman or marathon, when the mind has plenty of time to wander.

It is April already. Some of us have been training quite consistently since our season break from last year. By now, you have done over 3 serious month of base training, and with the weather still cold and gray, you might be feeling a little worn out and down. But you are not alone, as most people have a hard time training now for a race that is usually 6 months away.

Motivation is something athletes are always seeking, but can be elusive to obtain. Motivation can put a lesser skilled athlete on the podium standing over his more gifted and talented peers. It is the life blood of training. Simply put motivation is how much an individual wants to achieve a goal, but sources of motivation can be as varied as athletes.
