Being confident on the start line is probably the number one predictor of race performance.

That's Traflon Show, a podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

As always, I'm your host Michael Erickson, and today we're back with another interview episode,

where my guest is none other than Jim Vance, who many of you will be familiar with.

Before I introduce Jim, let me do a quick rundown of the past few episodes that we've had

for those of you who are new to the podcast podcast so you can go back and listen to them.

In episode six, I did a solo episode where I went over several racing tips that you can use

to really maximize your performance within the races. So it was all about how to run, bike,

and swim faster and having a better race in general.

Some psychology was in there as well.

Things that you can use simply to go faster in races.

In episode five, we had Ben Canute, professional triathlete, Olympic athlete on.

And that was a really good one, interesting to hear about

how Ben has been training throughout his career. And episode four was with Wendy Mader,

that was how to get started in triathlon and with swimming, biking, and running as a beginner

triathlete. So for you beginners out out there i highly recommend going back and listening to that

one so jim vans is an elite level coach he's a former pro triathlete himself and he's an offer of three

books or two books and co-editor a one so he has written run with power which is all about

running power meters triathlon 2.0 which is the main topic of today's

interview, data-driven triathlon training, and then he has co-edited triathlon science together with

Joe Freel, who was on the show in episode one. Jim coaches elite-level triathletes, as I said,

among others, Ben Canute, go back to episode 5 to listen to the interview with Ben.
