Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by

0:06.8

Scientific Triathlon.com.

0:09.1

I'm your host Michael and this is beginner tip 24 where we will discuss getting started with

0:15.4

interval training.

0:17.4

But first, big, big thank you to our sponsor Precision Hydration.

They make electrolyte products easy and they make it individualized, tailored to your individual needs based on how you sweat and how much sodium your sweat contains.
