Summary

Triathlon is a data-rich sport. But with so much data available, it can be difficult to discern what information is helpful, and what is just noise. On today's episode, coaches John Mayfield and Jeff Raines cover all of the training terms and metrics you need to know to properly analyze your workout. Learn how descriptive data presents opportunities to reflect on the execution of your training session, and what metrics truly matter. John and Jeff also cover setting up your training devices to see specific metrics during your sessions to get the most helpful real-time feedback.
