Summary

Q&A #26 - Swim training on two swims per week, what to do when heart rates spikes as soon as you start jogging, the danger of potluck training and the myth of base and build How should you structure your swim training on two swims per week? What should you do when you cannot run at a low-intensity heart rate, since it spikes as soon as you start jogging?

0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by
0:06.4	Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 26. And as always,
0:14.4	if you have questions that you want me to answer on the podcast, send them to Michael at
0:17.9	scientific triathlon.com and it's Michael with a K. Or send them on Facebook through the Facebook Messenger widget in the bottom right corner of the website,

0:28.6	Before we get into today's questions, a big thanks to Roka for sponsoring this episode.
0:34.3	Roka are the world leaders in wetsuits, trisuits and other triathlon swim and eyewear
0:39.4	apparel. Roka started out as a mission, basically a garage mission to make the world's fastest
