IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -The objectives of a training camp -How much volume can and should you do on a training camp -How much intensity can and should you do on a training camp -Training tips for swimming, cycling, and running when on a training camp -Nutrition, hydration, workout and post-workout fuelling, and recovery tips for a training camp -How to resume training after a training camp SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts174/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.
