0:00.0	Hey, hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by
0:06.0	Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and this episode is TTS Thursday number six.
0:13.2	Today's topic is on group training. We'll discuss the pros, the cons and how to do it right.
0:20.0	But before that, a big thanks to our sponsors, Zen 8.
0:23.8	Zen 8 creates a swim trainer that helps time crunch athletes get more consistency in their
0:28.7	swim training when you don't have enough time to get to the pool or when pools are closed.
0:33.3	It also allows you to, in a really controlled environment, work on your technical skills by working on the high elbow catch because the swim bench is designed to be just the right height for that, and to work on your core activation because the swim bench has an instability element to it that forces you to activate your core as you go through the swim stroke.
0:53.2	The bench is a massive improvement on traditional stretch cord exercises because it allows you to
0:58.2	perform your swim stroke in a horizontal prone position rather than standing up and
1:02.4	putting a lot of stretch through your hamstrings and posterior chain.
1:05.7	It is simply much, much more specific.
1:08.9	You can get 20% of your order of the Zen 8 Swim Trainer by going to
1:13.5	Sen8Sumtrainer.com for slash TTS and use the discount code there. And thank you to Roka.
1:19.9	Roka are the world leading manufacturers of wetsuits, trisuits, swimskins, goggles and high-performance,
1:25.2	high-performance, eyewear and prescription glasses and sunglasses.
1:28.2	Whether you're looking to go faster in the open water, get more performance and aerodynamics
1:32.6	out of your trisuit, or find the perfect pair of eyeglasses combining function, comfort
1:38.1	and design, Roka have an option for you.
1:41.2	Their products are all based on exceptional R&D and attention to every single detail,
1:47.3	whether it comes down to performance or comfort or whatever it may be depending on the product line.
