Sometimes we need to adapt to the environment, cus

Sometimes we need to adapt to the environment, customise kit to make it work better, invest in unorthodox kit or make our unique training tools from scratch 🤷‍♂️
-
Some examples of adaptations and customising that goes on in the MoT Squad:
-
Wearing 2x7mm wetsuits, hoodie, gloves and boots to lake swim
-
Custom paddles to fit the athlete and meet the athletes needs
-
Combining paddles with stretch cord to do dry swimming while pools are closed
-
Mid-sole cleats for better STOMPing and body position
-
Buying bigger chainrings also to STOMP
-

@matt.hill_mot second pool session of 2021! Some pools are open in the Stockholm area 😄
-
A session co-hosted with Wolff Wear, to provide an hour of gentle swim training and input – some of the swimmers having been out of the pool for 4months due to the restrictions in place.
-
It was the perfect time to start fresh, to “forget” old things, demystify the swim stroke and start 2021 (and the future) with a simpler, more natural and logical outlook of the front crawl stroke
-
One part of the front crawl stroke is MASSIVELY over coached while one part of the stroke is under-utilised. For those that have met us and had coaching input, you should know which is which!
-
Which of the pictures relates to the part that is over coached and which is linked to the under-used? 🤔

Have you got your life in perspective? - It’s ea

Have you got your life in perspective?
-
It’s easy to get stuck working long hours, at home or in the workplace. Getting sucked into a task and missing (IMPORTANT) standard routine such as lunchbreaks, training time or other life/family activities.
-
One of our MoT athletes has set a rule for himself, nicely summarised as:
-
“I make my lunchbreak between 11:30 and 12:30, no matter what! Sometimes you think you need to save the world… But then you realize nobody actually cares if you save the world 2 hours later”- @ernstzberg , the working philosopher / triathlete.
-
He is simply setting a rule that allows him to time manage his days and to function optimally – with work tasks, mental breaks, fuelling and training.
-
Let us know if you have a similar rule in place to help you get the balance and best from your days.

Combining work and play 😂 @steffe74 enjoying his work and swim band training so much he has taken to doing both at the same time!
-
The MoT squad, @saltsjobadentri, @stockholmcitytriathlonclub and @brommasimsallskap athletes all have their swim band homework to help limit swim losses while pools are a no-go 🏊‍♂️❌🏊‍♀️❌
-
It’s good to see humour hasn’t faded – “swim band evidence of the week” 🏆👏

Knowing when to push on and when to ease back is a

Knowing when to push on and when to ease back is a skill, it can be developed, and we have many opportunities to practice – in every training session.
-
Learn to listen to your BODY, and to filter out your minds will – the ego, it is weak and always looks for the easiest option. Your body will tell you lots if you listen, lots of objective information
-
The danger is, we often let our ego dictate our choices, so know this:
-
“Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit” - Vince Lombardi, American football coach
-
Form the habit of listening to your ego and quitting and it’ll become the norm, and you WILL carry the habit across to race day!
-
Listen to your body – muscles, joints, heart, lungs, etc – and control / tame your ego – race day performance DEPENDS on it…

#flashbackfriday
-
November 2018 MoT squad camp 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ A camp of laughter, bonding and training
-
These moments in life will arrive again; having the chance to travel and train with likeminded squad mates from all over Europe (this camp we had English, Spanish and Swedish members of the squad).
-
Until then… STAY THE COURSES 💪
-
Just like travel, racing WILL happen again, and sooner than you realise if you lose discipline and drift off course now!

Do you REALLY want it 🤔?
-
“Hopes and wishful thinking soon collapse and disappear. The power to DO remains within us.”
-
Percy Cerutty, MBE.
-
Dreaming of something – a goal – is one thing; to think 🧠 about it, the possible path 🛣 needed to get there, the feeling when you get there 🥳, etc. But… to achieve it, you have to DO something, no matter what comes your way, you can still DO things to reach that goal.
-
Lockdown number 2 incoming?
-
Don’t let it stop you from DOING! You can still DO plenty to reach your goal, don’t slip into thinking and wishing for better times!
