Summary

What is the most valuable training block of your season? The answer might surprise you! Most athletes believe that the few months immediately preceding their race are the most important. However, there is greater opportunity for performance improvement in the training further removed from race day. Join TriDot coaches Jeff Booher, John Mayfield, and Elizabeth James as they uncover how and why the training many months before your next triathlon has the most impact on your race results.

0:17.8	Our podcast is here to educate, inspire, and entertain. We'll talk all things
0:23.6	triathlon with expert coaches and special guests. Join the conversation and let's improve
0:30.0	together. Together. Welcome to the Triedout podcast, everyone. Okay, guys, so usually we try our best on the show to not say anything that dates when we recorded or when an episode comes out. Whether you listen to an episode, the day it comes out, a month later, or a year later, the triathlon wisdom shared is still relevant. And so we want the jokes, the stories, the anecdotes to still be relevant as well.

1:41.3	What should our mindset be as athletes during these times?
1:45.3	And what should we expect from our training plan?
1:48.2	This is a topic we were already planning on addressing, but with most triathletes worldwide
1:53.2	pushing their races further into the future due to COVID-19, we decided to push this
1:58.4	conversation to the front of the line.
2:01.4	The questions I ask will be a thousand percent relevant for day-to-day triathletes
