Summary

Q&A #10 - Why 80/20 training is NOT the best way to train for time-crunched age-group triathletes What do you miss out on, if anything, by following a sweet spot based training approach versus an 80/20 approach? Should you keep your TSS constant as you change your approach to training? Flaws in studies used as evidence of 80/20 training LINKS AND RESOURCES: That Triathlon Show website Coaching Training Plans Case study: How David qualified for Kona by training smarter and getting the details right | EP#130 80/20 Triathlon (revisited) with Matt Fitzgerald | EP#152 80/20 Triathlon: Get Faster By Training Slower with David Warden | EP#121 Q&A #3 - The validity of 80-20, how easy is easy, and different types of interval workouts Polarized training has greater impact on key endurance variables than threshold, high intensity, or high volume training Training-Intensity Distribution During an Ironman Season: Relationship With Competition Performance Six weeks of a polarized training-intensity distribution leads to greater physiological and performance adaptations than a threshold model in trained cyclists SPONSORS: Stac - The Stac Zero is the world's quietest bike trainer.
