Summary

Good questions from the group today. We start with understanding how this heat affects us and how we can handle it better in workouts. We look at cooling down on the fly and when it's not possible. We talk about what we would do if somehow we were running the Ironman brand. We talk about swimming in the ocean and/or with big chop. Strategies for current, waves and other people in the way. We look at negative splitting workouts and talk about it from an effort perspective as well. Settling in on your swims. We also talk about watts and whether or not you should try to increase them at the end of a 70.3 or Full. And, we get into bike fit, position, seat angle, etc. and look at how all of these things affect you on the run.

Topics:

  • When the heat just gets into you
  • Cooling down while moving . . . possible?
  • 5 year plan if we were CEO's of Ironman
  • Condense the amount of IM races?
  • Grow the sport from bottom up
  • The corporate numbers approach vs. customers
  • Drop the double World Championships
  • First time Ocean Swim?
  • Dealing with current
  • Battling waves and chop
  • Going from cages to clip pedals
  • Approach to hard sets in the pool
  • Negative splitting by effort
  • Race prep sessions
  • Learning how to settle in on your swim
  • Lactate shuttling
  • How to gather yourself while moving
  • If and when to increase wats on your 70.3 or Full
  • Will we ever swift race against Ellyse?
  • Cycling mixed in for marathon training
  • Seat angle and tight hips on the bike
  • What else does bike position effect on the run?
