0:00.0	The Triathlon Show, 178.
0:05.0	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast
0:23.8	presented by scientific triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is a follow-up on last
0:31.0	week's interview with Stephen Seiler on Polarized Training. It was episode 177. If you haven't listened to it yet, be sure to do so. And I would
0:41.0	recommend doing that before listening to this episode, actually. So this is one of those
0:45.3	quite rare cases actually when the chronological order of how you listen to these episodes do matter.

1:43.5	I know a lot about
1:45.6	his sort of philosophy and teachings, and I've listened to all the podcasts that he's appeared on.
