My latest post is now available on the TrainingPeaks blog!

Whether you have the support and perspective of a coach or you're a self-coached athlete micro goals are a great way to keep the focus and needle moving in the right direction towards your goals.

What kind of micro-goals do you feel may be worth creating and monitoring during the upcoming month of December or summer season?

Goals can come in all sizes and variations, but micro-goals might be the most useful kind for your athletes’ day-to-day training.

Come attend my two talks on Fueling Sport with a Plant Based Diet and Riding Raw Across America.

These talks cover, respectively, how to meet macronutrient requirements for different sports types with example meal plans and my story from cycling across America in 20 days on a raw vegan diet.

Vegan Fest Tasmania is taking a hiatus while we rebuild with the Vegan Vibes Market on 27 October 2024 in Lindisfarne Community Activities Centre, Lincoln Street, Lindisfarne

My latest post is now live on the Thomas Endurance Coaching blog.

Not only does this blog post touch on the role and benefits of working with a coach, it delves into how a coach supports athletes over the long-term through the highs and lows. This supportive component of the coach-athlete relationship is an important and sometimes overlooked aspect of working with a new coach or athlete.

I appreciate your time and eagerly look forward to reading your comments and feedback.

Sincerely,

Carson McQuarrie

I was feeling refreshed after completing my first FTP test in a far too long of a time lol 295w for 20min at 74kg.

I'm not too far off from where I thought I was but its a heck of a long way from my past 335w for 20min @ 65kg or my old super tough workouts of 400w for 9x 3min @ 62kg.

It does however feel good to train with objectivity and know where I'm at at this point. You don't know where you're going until you know where you've been.

I'm not making any promises for the coming months but I'm looking forward to a possible adventure in August 2021 which is a 500km gravel race through the Canadian Rockies with a good friend. Adventure in endurance is when I feel and do my best.

The big question is whether sleep deprivation from raising a baby in the first few months is the same amount of fatigue as cycling 300+kms a day on 4.5hrs sleep/night for 20 days. I may be nieve to most people but I'm pretty sure it'll be nothing to stress about. I think that'll have an affect on my training this summer though. Fingers crossed!

Stay tuned! The adventure continues...
