I would focus, like, on a Tuesday and a Thursday, I would have a bike run brick, where both of those have kind of race-paced intensity.

That triathlon show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode I interview coach AJ Johnson of D3 multi-sport and our topic is if you have a certain

number of hours available in the week to train, how do you best use those hours? So as you can
