The Traathlon Show 416.

Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and on today's episode, I interview

David Tilbury Davis. David has been on the podcast a number of times before. I will, of course,

link to all of the past episodes in the show notes. So most of you may

know him. He is a professional triathlon coach and coach is a number of professional athletes at the

highest level, but probably most well known is Ashley Gentle, who is currently ranked number

two in the PTO rankings. We do of course talk quite a bit with David about the training

of professional athletes like Ashley Gentle and Skymunch

and others and general requirements for training and racing at that level. But we also have

discussion around the training for age group and in particular around the offseason training

and things to think about and consider when it comes to the offseason training. So that's something

that you can look for during the second half of this interview. But before we get into the interview, big thanks to our sponsors, Precision Fuel and Adoration. They help athletes perform at their best with electrolyte and fueling products and with free online tools, education and epithetid sweat test. You can use the free Fuel and Hydration Planner on their website to get a personalized plan for your carbohydrate, sodium and fluid intake. And you can also book a free 20 minute video consultation to chat through your plan with the athlete support team. I have used their entire range of products for a long time and I think they're absolutely brilliant. And you can get 15% of your first order by using the code TTS23 on precision fuel and hydration.com. And thank you to form. The four smart swing goals give you real-time feedback in your swim training right on the Google lens, including splits, pace, stroke rate and heart rate. This means that you can execute your swim workouts better and get a better idea of your ability to hold certain paces and stroke rates and understand when and why you start to slow down. The best thing is that you can see and interpret this data in real time in the session, so it's actually actionable and can help you right then and there. Also, especially if you're swimming solo, it adds some more fun and engagement to swim training, which might make you look forward to your swim sessions in a completely different way and be more consistent. You can get 15% off the goggles with the code TTS15 on FormSwim.com

for slash TTS. Now without any further ado, here's the interview with David Tilbury Davis.

Welcome back to that triathlon show, David. How are you doing? Good, good, nice, nice to be back.

Yeah, it's think the think the fourth time, possibly.

listeners can go back and check. I'll put all the previous episodes in the show notes,

but for those that are a bit newer and maybe don't know who you are, can you give an introduction to

yourself? Yeah, absolutely. My name's David Tilbury Davis, and I've been coaching

professional triathletes and age group triathletes for nearly 30 years.

I'm currently based in Europe, but I've previously been based in the US.

And I guess if you're wondering sort of the kind of individuals I'm currently working with,
