Summary

These 9 swim, bike and run workouts are very effective, and I find myself going back to them time and time again. But since they're less well-known than your typical "6 x 3 minutes" or "20 minute tempo run", you've probably never heard of most of them, let alone used them in your training. Feel free to steal them and incorporate them into your program! IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN: -"CSS rest cutdown", "Mixed pace progression" and "Open water beach start" workouts for swimming -"Criss-cross", "Multiset VO2max", and "Power sprint" workouts for cycling -"Squires long run", "Hill sprints", and "Hudson 1-2-3-2-1 Fartlek" for running.

0:06.3

Hey, what's up, everybody?

0:18.9

Welcome to That Traathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

0:25.4

I'm your host, Michael, and today I bring you an episode where we'll talk about nine of my favorite workouts that you probably haven't heard about.

0:35.9

And most of you are definitely not doing them in your

0:38.2

training but maybe you should so these are a bit more unconventional than the regular workouts

0:44.1

that are obviously great like six times three minute VO2 max workouts with three minute

0:50.2

recoveries or your classic 20 minute tempo rums. Some more unusual stuff here, but

0:56.1

absolutely fantastic workouts. So I just want to give you some quick tips on what you can

1:01.8

do for what new workouts you can incorporate in your training program. We'll have nine of them

1:07.6

free each for swimming, biking and running.

1:20.5

But first, I want to take a listener question, which is very much related to episode 30 that we did recently on training zones for running.

1:24.6

This question is from Joseph Gopes and he writes, Hello, I had a question regarding running and open races in running.

1:29.8

I ran a 129 half in January and then a 320 full marathon in March.

1:36.2

If I use training paces from the full, it's too slow, but it's the most recent race.

1:42.8

My goal is to get to Boston, that's boston marathon any tips on

1:46.6

which paces i should be aiming for so this is a great question and uh when joseph writes that he has

1:53.0

been using training zones from the race he has probably been using some calculator one of the

1:59.1

ones that i mentioned in episode 30, which was

2:02.8

training systems for running, so maybe Macmillan's running calculator or Jack Daniels or something

2:08.0

like that. And one good thing that you can do with those calculators is also get equivalent

2:13.1

race times. So I took Joseph's 129 half marathon and plugged it into the calculator to see what
