From: Chris Janzen - Author of Race Faster NOW! and Creator of the 5 Forces Formula for Breakthrough Triathlon Performance
Dear Fellow Triathlete,
Which of the following best describes you?
"I train hard, but somehow I never quite seem able to perform at my best on race day"
"My motivation is inconsistent, which leads to ineffective training"
"As soon as one thing goes wrong (e.g. bad start to the swim) I quickly lose faith and my entire race goes downhill"
"I get extremely nervous before races and worry if I've done enough"
"I feel like I've hit a plateau and I just can't seem to break through"
"I want to improve my performance, but can't find what's missing "
If you can relate to any one or more of the above, you're about to discover some powerful strategies to eliminate that problem and have your best race ever. In fact…
Over 97% of triathletes see what I'm about to share with you as absolutely 'critical to a successful triathlon performance'…yet 90% are clueless on what to do about it…
"The most neglected part of training" ~Ironman Legend Dave Scott
In fact, 6 times Ironman World Champion Dave Scott sees it as the most neglected part of most triathletes training programs saying it 'needs to happen all year round'.
Research proves that if you get this one thing right and you'll find yourself making greater strength gains, recover faster and with better technique too.
Get it wrong and research proves you're more than twice as likely to be injured, have a training plateau or suffer impaired performance.
What is this missing ingredient from virtually all triathletes training programs that prevents them from reaching their personal best?
It's the overlooked factors that underpin every training session.
It's the most passed-over skill that directly determines your race results.
It's the collection of five factors that when mastered take your performance to new heights and when ignored leave you dejected and frustrated.
It's the mental side of the sport, or more accurately, what I call your 'inner game'.
All serious triathletes know that your mental strength and focus are absolutely essential to success.
In fact, it doesn't matter how much physical and technical training you've done, if you 'lose it' during race day, your whole race (or even season) can fall apart.
"The difference between having a great race or an average one - or making history and being history - is not what goes on in your muscles but what goes in your head. Mental strength is everything for success in triathlon."
Emma-Kate Lidbury ~ Professional Triathlete
Paula didn't have her inner game together when it mattered most
Paula Radcliffe in tears only 4 miles from the finish line
Remember when world-record holder Paula Radcliffe blew up in Athens during the Olympic marathon?
Was it because a lack of experience? No.
Was it because her technique wasn't good enough? No.
Was it because she wasn't physically fit enough? No.
It's because she wasn't in the right mental state.
And the opposite is also true…Many of the greatest triathletes of all time have publicly declared that it was not superior physical fitness that allowed them to dominate, but superior mental strength, mastery of the inner game.
Or put another way, they were using the 5 Forces Formula to their advantage…
Here's the REAL Problem That's Preventing You From Having Your Own Breakthrough Triathlon Performance…
The first problem is… ignorance.
Most triathletes simply don't realize that it's their inner game that's holding them back. So they work harder and harder out of desperation, only to get caught up in the law of diminishing returns, so they work even harder, injury usually follows…
It doesn't matter how much harder they work on the physical or technical side, because a chain is only as strong as the weakest link and they aren't addressing the underlying issue.
"Many triathletes still don't do any mental training, and among those who do, most do it only in the final hours or days before big races. Mental training needs to happen year-round."
Dave Scott, legendary six-time Ironman World Champion and the first inductee into the Ironman Hall of Fame
The second problem is… even the minority who recognize the importance of the inner game don't know how to develop it quickly, correctly and easily to not only minimize the risk of having a 'nightmare race', but also significantly boost your performance and increase your chances of achieving a new personal best time.
And that's why you're here…
I'm about to give you a simple to understand, easy to use, five part system I developed that, if followed correctly will give you significant performance enhancement for your swim, bike AND run.
But it gets better…
Because what I'm about to share with you requires no extra training time on the bike, in the pool or out on the road.
In fact following the simple 5 Forces Formula means your training will be more effective than ever before and you'll be getting the very best out of it with:
no additional drills
no additional equipment
no additional supplements
and no additional physical or technical training time.
I've coached triathletes from various countries around the world using my '5 Forces Formula'. At the 2010 ITU World Championships in Budapest just one 5 minute application of only one of the five forces the night before the race caused a UK athlete to put in his best ever performance, finishing a new career best of 5th place in his age group.
"Preparing for triathlon's mental challenges involves more than thinking tonight about tomorrow morning's race. Just as you train your body, you must also train your mind."
Craig Kain, PhD Psychologist and Ironman Triathlete
There are 5 critical forces that create an optimum performance in triathlon, use any one and your physical performance will improve, use all five and…. Well let's just say I think you'll be very, VERY happy with your new results!
This article is was design to get every athlete ready to endure things he never thought his or her body could do. To push your self to the limit when you just wonted to give up.To block out the pain and show mental as well as physical toughness.
