That Traathlon Show, 499.

Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show.

0:22.9

The podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:26.7

I'm my host Michael and on today's episode, I'm in your host, Joel Filial.

0:30.2

For those of you who don't know Joel, he's a very experienced and successful coach in the world of triathlon and especially in short course triathlon.

0:37.3

He's currently coaching athletes like Caduce Fierius, Vincent Louis and Vasco Vilasa in his international

0:42.8

squad. And in the past, he's also coached athletes like Mario Mola, Richard Murray and many

0:48.5

others at the absolute highest level of triathlon. For those of you who might be newer to this

0:54.1

podcast, I first interviewed Joel

0:55.7

back in 2019 in episode 172, which I'll of course link to in the show notes. And that

1:24.6

through a typical training week and so on. So I'll link to that episode as well.

1:28.7

But as we have covered the topic about training in depth both recently and back in 2019,

1:36.0

in this interview we go down a few different directions. So yeah, I just want to mention that

1:40.5

in case you haven't listened to any of those episodes and wondering why we're seemingly brushing over some of those questions that I would normally ask, that is because

1:48.5

we have already covered them in the past. So it is there, go and check those out. And now enjoy

1:54.9

this one with Joel Filial. Before that, though, big thanks to our sponsors, precision fuel and

1:59.6

hydration. They help athletes perform at their best with electrolyte and fueling products and with free online tools, education and a patented sweat test.

2:07.2

Big news from the Iron Man World Championship Week in Nees is that precision fuel and hydration have launched a new flow gel.
