Summary

It's easy to blame a bad race on the run, but it goes much deeper. Today, we look at how to train in a way that gives you the best shot at running well in races. We talk about the realities of a race and why you're most likely not giving yourself the best shot to run how you want. We look at training techniques, including the possibilty of running less than you are to be better prepared for race day. It can be a complicated puzzle, but the reality comes down to being ready and able to run.

Topics:

  • Stress and how it impacts your run
  • 35 full days days of triathlon goodwill and therapy
  • It's not how fast you go, but how little you slow down
  • Preloading
  • Rank your training priorities
  • Should you bike or run more?
  • Stop looking at your training runs as the main indicator
  • Why do C26 athletes swim so much?
  • Your biggest return on investment of time
  • Going for runs is the simplest 
  • Don't blame the run
  • Hard to take in calories on the run
  • Would you pick only to swim and bike or swim and run?
  • Think about the feeling of being fresh off the bike
  • Experiments with swim and bike
  • Who says the swim doesn't matter??
  • Depleting buffers
