The Lonely Triathlete - triathlon training and motivation for the masses
We all get injured and we all deal with it differently. It recently occurred to me that I seem to go through stages of grief when I am injured. And I don't make the best decisions for my long term health until I reach the last stage.Join the fun at www.patreon.com/thelonelytriathleteTRANSCRIPTTriathlon Injuries and The 5 Stages of Grief Today I want to use the 5 Stages of Grief as a framework to talk about how we, as triathletes, often experience injuries.The Five Stages of Grief weren't actually created to explain sports injuries—or even the grief we feel after someone dies. They were originally observations of people facing their own mortality. Modern psychology tells us grief isn't nearly that tidy. But I've found those five emotions to be a surprisingly useful lens for understanding what happens in my own head every time an injury threatens a session or perhaps a season.As a quick recap, 3 weeks before my end of June race, I hurt my back. And I mean, I really hurt it. I had to take 8 complete days away from training and there were a few moments where I entertained the possibility that I might not be able to race in the World Championship qualifying race that I had been training for for 9 months. With all of my focus on rest, recovery, nutrition, medical attention and every marginally effective treatment I could think of, I managed to get to a place where I thought I might be able to race pain-free. And then, on the Friday before the Sunday race I hurt a different part of my back or neck. Once again, I faced difficult emotions but with luck on my side (and a million units of pain killer in my system) I managed to perform an all-time best race and secure my invitation to join Team Canada and represent at the World Triathlon Championships in Germany next year.My plan was to recover this past week, then get in some short hard efforts next week and once again race a Standard Distance here in Victoria. A race where I came 2nd in my category last year.Yet when I woke up this morning, I had difficuly walking due to a really sore hip. So, once again, I am forced to take extra time off for injury. And it reminded me that I seem to go through the same emotional journey every single time I get injured. I don't think it's just disappointment—I think it's grief.Not grief because someone died, but grief because, in a way, the athlete I thought I was for the next few weeks suddenly disappeared.So, what are the 5 Stage of Grief? And remember, we don't always go through them all and we don't necessarily go through them in a linear order.Stage 1: Denial"I'll be fine."My typical thoughts:It's just tight.I'll loosen up tomorrow.I'll still do my long run.Maybe I'll just bike instead.As triathletes, or simply very motivated people, we often tend to ignore warning signs because training has taught us to push through discomfort. No pain, no gain, right?And if you are anything like me, you've probably Googled 'Can I run on a torn [blank]?' hoping the internet says yes. You know who you are.Stage 2: Anger"This isn't fair."This is where frustration appears.Examples:Why now?I was finally getting fit.Everyone else is training.I did everything right.The timing is unbelievable!If you find yourself in this stage my advice to you would be to avoid social media because it can be almost unbearable to see friends and competitors on Strava crushing their workouts.Stage 3: BargainingThis is probably the funniest stage."If I only run easy...""What if I skip intervals and do some Base work instead?""I'll wear compression sleeves.""I'll ice it.""I'll take one more recovery day.""I'll only run downhill."This is where athletes become expert negotiators with themselves. Now, there is nothing wrong with trying to find a logical, reasonable compromise to work around an injury but realize this is a very dangerous place to be. There is a fine line between "getting through an injury" and "making it much worse".Stage 4: SadnessThis is the hardest part.The realization sets in:I'm going to lose fitness.That race might be over.My routine is gone.My identity takes a hit.We feel this way because training isn't just exercise — it's structure, stress relief, community, and confidence. Losing it feels much bigger than just missing a workout.Finally, Stage 5: AcceptanceThis is where good decisions FINALLY happen.Instead of asking:"How do I save this race?"You begin asking:"What's the smartest way forward?"Examples:Seeing a physiotherapist.Following a rehab plan.Adjusting goals.Cross-training.Sleeping more.Letting HEALING become the training.I've noticed that I can't skip straight to LOGIC. My brain wants to BARGAIN first. It wants to find shortcuts and loopholes. But eventually I reach acceptance, and that's when I actually start making good decisions. The sooner I recognize the emotional process, the sooner I stop fighting reality and start healing.I think it's been the realization that I need to go through these stages of grief when I am injured that have allowed me to stay calmer, cooler, less emotionally charged from my recent setbacks. It isn't easy at any level but the more quickly I move to acceptance, the more quickly I can begin to heal. And while we can't always control how quickly we get to that level the mere fact of recognizing what is happening to us emotionally is one of the biggest pieces of that puzzle.So, if you're injured right now, maybe give yourself a little grace. You might not just be dealing with sore muscles—you might be grieving the session, sessions or even season you thought you were going to have. That's normal. Just don't make permanent training decisions based on TEMPORARY EMOTIONS.Until next time,Peace

"You just need to let it go." It's one of the most common pieces of advice people receive after betrayal. And one of the least helpful. Because if letting go were simply a decision, you would have done it already. So why is it so difficult? In this episode of After the Affair, Luke Shillings explores what people are really talking about when they say they "can't let go." Is it the affair? The person? The marriage? Or is something much deeper keeping you anchored to the past? You'll discover why the affair didn't just damage your relationship—it shattered the future you believed you were going to have. From the holidays you imagined, to the retirement you planned, to the quiet confidence you once had in your life together, betrayal doesn't simply rewrite your past. It forces you to grieve a future that no longer exists. Most importantly, this episode explores the difference between letting go of what happened and letting go of what you thought was going to happen. Because those are two very different things. And understanding that difference may change the way you see your healing forever. In This Episode You'll Learn Why "just let it go" is often unhelpful advice What you're actually struggling to let go of after betrayal How infidelity doesn't just rewrite the past, it changes the future you imagined Why grief after an affair is often grief for possibilities, not just memories The difference between holding onto the affair and holding onto the life you expected Why your brain keeps trying to negotiate a future that no longer exists How bargaining quietly keeps many people emotionally stuck Why acceptance isn't approval What letting go actually looks like in healthy recovery How making space for grief creates space for rebuilding A Powerful Question From This Episode "Am I trying to let go of the affair… or am I trying to let go of the future I believed I was going to have?" Because those are not the same thing. One is an event. The other is the loss of an imagined life. And until you know which one you're grieving, it's incredibly difficult to move forward. Key Takeaways ✅ Letting go isn't a switch you simply choose to flip. ✅ Most betrayed partners aren't just grieving the affair—they're grieving the future they believed they were building. ✅ The affair often destroys certainty, identity, and imagined possibilities as much as the relationship itself. ✅ Bargaining with the past is a natural stage of grief, but it can quietly become a place where people remain stuck. ✅ Acceptance is not the same as agreement or approval. ✅ Healing doesn't require forgetting what happened. ✅ You can honour what you've lost without allowing it to define the rest of your life. ✅ Letting go isn't about losing your memories, it's about making room for new possibilities. Why This Episode Matters One of the biggest misconceptions in betrayal recovery is that people are struggling because they can't move on from the affair. Often, that's only part of the story. Many people are actually mourning a life they thought they were going to live. The marriage they believed they had. The retirement they imagined. The traditions they expected to share. The version of themselves who never thought this would happen. This episode explores why that distinction matters, and why recognising what you're truly grieving is often the beginning of genuine healing. Because sometimes the hardest thing to let go of isn't the relationship. It's the future you quietly built around it. Resources & Support If you're trying to rebuild your life after betrayal and you're looking for structure, guidance and support, Luke offers both private coaching and a supportive recovery community.
Iranians appear to be enjoying maximum leverage over the Trump administration. The argument goes that Trump had to act as he did to avoid severe risks to the global economy—an outcome that raises questions about the limits of his “master dealmaker” image.Why is JD Vance positioning himself as the deal's chief cheerleader, exposing himself to sustained political scrutiny? And how are figures like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin likely interpreting these developments? For some, it may signal a setback for American credibility and global leadership.In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Andrew turn to domestic politics. As the House of Commons prepares to break for the summer, they assess the Prime Minister's performance over his first 14 months in office.

What happens when spirituality teaches you to transcend your body but doesn't teach you how to return to it?In this episode, Eileen sits down with Cynthia Abulafia, author, educator, yoga therapist, and longtime student of the goddess traditions of Tantra. Cynthia's debut book Embodying the Goddess challenges what she calls the transcendence bias of patriarchal spirituality: the pervasive idea that the body, emotions, and sensory experience are somehow less sacred than stillness, silence, and transcendence. What she offers instead is a path of radical integration. Climbing the ladder both up into transcendence and back down into form.This conversation goes deep, fast. From Kundalini awakening to the bargains we make with our own hearts, from the exploitation hiding inside Neo-Tantra to the surprising power of devotion in a post-religious world, this is one to sit with.In this episode:* The "transcendence bias", why so many spiritual traditions teach us to leave the body rather than inhabit it* What Kundalini awakening actually is, and what a spiritual crisis can teach us* The goddess traditions of Tantra and why most of their sacred texts still aren't translated or publicly available* What the divine feminine is not, and how Cynthia defines it (hint: it's about the capacity to hold opposites)* "Bargaining the heart", the invisible contracts we make without knowing it, and how finishing the sentence "I will be happy when..." is the key* Why 25% of Westerners now identify as spiritual but not religious and what we've thrown out with the bathwater* Curiosity as a spiritual practice, a political act, and a path back into connection* The Celtic thread: how the goddess tradition in Irish mythology shows a radically different relationship between sovereignty and the land"Notice what you notice. Honestly, that's the whole teaching." — Cynthia AbulafiaVisit Cynthia's websiteConnect with Cynthia on InstagramJoin me for the next Wheel of the Year CeremonySubscribe to Eileen on SubstackTake the Which Witch Are You QuizOrder Awaken to the Magic Connect with Eileen on InstagramFollow Eileen on Insight TimerSend Eileen an email
For decades, China accelerated its industrial development through a straightforward bargain: foreign firms invested in China, often through joint ventures, gaining access to the enormous Chinese market, while Chinese companies absorbed western tech and knowhow. Today, that dynamic is changing. China's high-tech industries are now world-leading, and western governments are looking on enviously. So should the US and EU now take a page from China's playbook? Host Soumaya Keynes speaks to John Minnich, assistant professor of international relations at LSE, about the history of Chinese tech transfer, how it drove industrial sophistication and whether the west could — or should — attempt something similar.Subscribe to Soumaya's show on Apple, Spotify, Pocket Casts or wherever you listen.Further ReadingHow China pulled off a great tech reversalEU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe' plansJohn Minnich: Divide and Conquer: Industry Market Structure, Inter-Firm Rivalry, and Bargaining over TechnologyPresented by Soumaya Keynes.

Every victory at the bargaining table starts with workers standing together—but solidarity means looking out for each other's minds as well as their livelihoods. In this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, host Ed "Flash" Ferenc sits down with John Lepley, Director of Education and Membership Development at the United Steelworkers (USW). Marking both Mental Health Awareness Month and the USW's 84th anniversary, John highlights a vital shift in the labor movement: treating mental health as a core collective bargaining issue. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Power of Peer Support: Inside the USW's voluntary mental health curriculum, developed alongside CUNY psychology professor Waleed Sami, which teaches members to spot warning signs and connect colleagues with professional care. Healthcare Workers in Crisis: How chronic understaffing, isolation, and workplace violence are compounding the mental health crisis for nurses and healthcare professionals—and how the union is fighting back. Bargaining for Well-being: Why scheduling, staffing ratios, and the boundary between work and home life are fundamental mental health policies that belong in every union contract. Leadership from the Top: The critical role General President Roxanne Brown played in championing this program from its early pilot stages to a nationwide union initiative. Important Resources: If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.

Are you struggling to say goodbye to the version of yourself that drinks? Coach Matt explores the powerful analogy of breaking up with alcohol and why high achievers often go through a literal grieving process when they choose an alcohol-free life. Discover the neuroscience behind the five non-linear stages of letting go...

The decision whether to enter into a plea agreement with the government/state is the most important choice a client will make. But too many clients enter into bad pleas - ones that promise little and give up a lot. A client shouldn't have to settle for a plea that lacks real bite. Therefore, in Part II of our plea agreements bonanza, we go through, point by point, the elements of what makes a good plea. IN THIS EPISODE: Knowing the hallmarks of a "good" plea agreement; Knowing the long-term implications of rights you will be required to waive; The crucial difference between plea "stipulations" and plea "recommendations" Making sure your plea does not tie your hands on facts, arguments or mitigation you can present at sentencing; Bargaining for conditional appeal provisions; Bargaining away mandatory minimums; Pleading to an offense that substantially reduces potential statutory maximum; Keeping the door open for compassionate release and new challenges based on future changes to the guidelines or law ; The Hunter case, pending in the Supreme Court, that may make appeal waivers unconstitutional; And, now for something completely different, a recommendation for a powerful documentary ("Predators"). Here is a link to the trailer for the documentary, "Predators". This film takes a fresh look at the "To Catch a Predator" series, and asks hard questions about Hansen's motivations and methods, and how he ruined lives ruined for ratings. It does what criminal defense lawyers have to do every day, take a hugely reviled class of alleged offenders, and demonstrate that there is another side to the story.

This week we kick things off at the Met Gala, a celebration of fashion and art that’s starting to feel a little Hunger Games, especially with billionaire backing from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. We unpack Victoria’s reforms to better support victim-survivors of sexual violence, and the lawsuits facing Kylie Jenner - who’s being sued by not one, but two former housekeepers. Hannah then breaks down the news media bargaining incentive and what it actually means for how we consume news on social media. Plus, what’s really going on behind the scenes of Euphoria, including Labrinth pulling his music, and an update following the arrest linked to the murder of five-year-old Kumanjayi Little Baby.

Diplomacy isn't working, so President Trump is trying to cut Iran off from the world. A US military blockade on all Iranian ports and coastal areas is now in effect. The president announced the move over the weekend after 21 hours of peace talks in Pakistan ended without a deal. The idea is to put more financial pressure on the regime by blocking Iran from selling its oil, at least publicly. Iranian leaders are shrugging it off. The speaker of Iran's parliament, who helped lead their negotiations over the weekend, responded: “Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4 to $5 gas.” Learn more about your ad choices.

The goal was never to be a different person – it's to build a life that works with who you already are.
