Setting goals for a triathlon season isn’t just about choosing races or target times. It starts with being honest about where you are right now. In this video, I break down how to set short-term and long-term triathlon goals, then shift the focus to the process that actually supports them. Training structure, consistency, and realistic expectations matter more than motivation alone. If you’re planning your triathlon season, coming back after a break, or trying to set goals that don’t fall apart mid-season, this approach will help you build goals that last.

Time off was the right decision. But coming back hasn’t been as simple as just cracking on. This video is an honest look at the quiet mental and emotional challenge of returning to full-time training after a tough season. No hype, no comeback narrative. Just the in-between phase where rest ends and rhythm hasn’t returned yet. If you’ve ever stepped away to recover, reset, or protect your long-term progress, and then wondered why starting again feels heavier than expected, this is that... 00:00 Why I Really Took Time Off Training 00:22 Losing Identity Without Structure 00:41 The Mental Struggle of Starting Again 01:27 A Realistic Return to Training for 2026 01:54 Why the 2025 Season Took More Out of Me 02:30 Why This Offseason Needed to Be Longer 03:26 Training Without Your Usual Squad 04:28 How I’m Structuring My Return to Training 04:54 Fitness vs Muscular Conditioning After Time Off 06:13 Why Cycling Comes Back Easier Than Swimming 07:16 Common Mistakes When Returning to Training 08:13 Returning to Running Without Intensity 09:09 Lessons From Overtraining and Burnout 10:18 Looking Ahead to the 2026 Season MY FREE ONLINE ADVICE: Free Downloads: https://www.entirepc.com/downloads Newsletter: https://www.entirepc.com/ MY COACHING PLANS One-to-one Coaching: https://www.entirepc.com/onetoone Training Plans: https://www.entirepc.com/performanceacademy MY FAVOURITE GEAR 🏊🏻 Swim Kit: https://kit.co/joshlewis/swim-kit 🚴🏻 Bike Tech: https://kit.co/joshlewis/bike-tech 🏃🏻 Run Tech: https://kit.co/joshlewis/run-tech MY KEY LINKS 🌍 My website / blog - https://www.joshualewis.info/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jlewis.tri/ 🚴🏻 Strava // https://www.strava.com/athletes/joshlewis WHO AM I A qualified architect by trade, turned Professional Triathlete, YouTuber, entrepreneur, Teacher and Coach.

Triathlon pushes us physically, but it also tests us mentally. So much of this sport happens alone … early mornings, late rides, long runs in your own head. It can be easy to forget how powerful it is to have people around you who just get it. Personally, I don’t think I’ve struggled too much on the mental side of things… and I think it’s because I’ve surrounded myself with people I can trust to help me through those tougher times… share any pain points, and understand that others go through tough times too, both in sport and out. It’s helped reduce any woes I had quickly and allowed me to be a stronger, healthier person, mentally and physically. This short film is a reminder that while we might train to be stronger athletes, we also need to look out for each other as people. Check in on your mates. A simple message can make a bigger difference than you think. I can’t grow a moustache … but I can somewhat edit and have plenty of content 👍🏻 #MentalHealthMatters Youarenotalone

This video takes you inside one of the hardest periods of my triathlon career. In the buildup to Ironman Leeds, I unknowingly raced with shingles. What followed was months of fatigue, frustration, and learning the hard way about true recovery. I share how I managed to get through it, what I’ve learned about post-viral fatigue, and why sometimes the best way forward is to take a step back.
