0:00.0	That Traathlon Show, 186.
0:17.6	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:27.4	I'm your host, Michael, and in this episode, I do the second part of the questions and answers,
0:33.0	polarized training special that I started in episode 178, which in turn was a follow-up or a reaction
0:40.7	to the great feedback that we had on episode 177, which was the interview with Dr. Stephen
0:47.3	Seiler on that very concept polarized training.
0:51.3	So if you haven't listened to any of those episodes, I would encourage you to go back
0:56.1	and listen to those episodes first, because this episode probably won't be as beneficial
1:01.5	without having that background of what we're actually talking about and what these questions
1:06.4	are about. So at least listen to episode 177, the interview with Dr. Steven Seiler, which is called
1:14.7	Polarized Training with Steven Seiler.
1:16.7	And in that episode, we'll go through all the background that you need to know to then
1:20.8	understand these questions and answers and be able to learn from them and apply it in
1:25.5	your training to make you faster.
1:28.3	Big thanks before we start the episode to our sponsors, precision hydration that you can find
1:32.8	on precision hydration.com. They help you tailor your hydration and your electrolyte intake,
1:39.0	in particular sodium, to your individual sweat rate. And you can do that very simply and easily and for free on their
1:46.8	website just to take their free online sweat test and that will give you an individual hydration
1:52.0	and electrolyte strategy that you can apply in racing as well as in training and this is of course
1:58.5	important for all endurance athletes but especially so if you're racing long distances like full or half-ironman distance races, or you're racing in hot climates, then this becomes even more vital for your success on race day.
