Summary

Q&A #18 - The problems with the Maffetone method and 180-Formula, and should you choose trails over roads in your run training? Is there any evidence that the Maffetone method and 180 Heart Rate Formula work? Why should you NOT use the 180-Formula, and what should you do instead? How the Maffetone method still gets the big picture right! When should you run on trails rather than roads in your run training, and when is the road a better option? LINKS AND RESOURCES: That Triathlon Show website Coaching Training Plans Q&A #11 - Should you use different heart rate zones for swimming, cycling and running? The Development and Initial Assessment of a Novel Heart Rate Training Formula SPONSORS: Retül - Retül Bike Fit makes riding more enjoyable by making you more efficient while reducing the chance of injury and increasing comfort on the bike. It’s also more than just a bike fit - it’s a way to learn about your body, the root cause of your aches and pains, and how a proper fit will help you achieve your cycling goals. HIIT Science Course - If you are a coach, a sports scientist or student, or an athlete that want in-depth knowledge into understanding the science/physiological response of HIIT, and how to actually apply it in triathlon, enroll in the HIIT Science while enrollment is open 22-31 January 2019.

0:50.2	And this provides the fitter with data that supports all the choices that are made during the bike fit for your cycling experience, your comfort, you're being injury-free and you're producing a lot of power and being aerodynamic on the bike.
