Ask A Coach:

Athlete: The niggle has turned into something worse coach. I'm not sure I can run. I've talked to a PT and they recommend I get Xray and MRI. My IRONMAN is 8 weeks out.

 

Coach: Detours Happen. For those of you dealing with detours caused by injury or illness. Be patient, positive and creative. These may seem like trite words but they will steer you through the emotions and decisions that will put you back on the path to your goals.

 

 Be patient while you heal. Use recovery time to reflect on your "why" you chose to start this goal and chart a new course.

 

Be positive and never waste a crisis. When a door closes, start looking for the next open door. You are more likely to see those open doors if you are looking for them.

 

Be creative and make modifications. Can't run? Try the elliptical or aqua jogging. Can't swim? Try kicking or drilling. Our weekly coaching calls are designated time to deal with detours. If you are self-coached, be intentional and write out your plan for what you will continue to do, what you will modify, and when you plan to resume training in earnest toward that next goal on your journey.
