Summary

Q&A #33 - Incorporating bike or run commutes to work in training, and distinguishing between good and bad lower heart rate How should you effectively incorporate bike or run commutes into your training to get training benefits without compromising quality in other key workouts?  How does this change if you do both a regular workout and the morning bike/run commute? How should you think about nutrition around training in the morning and commuting to work? How do you distinguish between a reduction in exercise heart rate due to getting fitter versus being in a state of non-functional over-reaching?     LINKS AND RESOURCES:   That Triathlon Show website  Coaching Training Plans Heart Rate Variability (HRV) - Applications and Insights in 2018 and Beyond with Marco Altini | EP#144 Non-functional overreaching with Cyril Schmit | EP#159 World Champions keep things simple: training masterclass with Joel Filliol | EP#172 Intensity, volume, rest, nutrition, coaching and triathlon myth-busting with Dr. Philip Skiba | EP#173     SPONSORS: ROKA - Enter the ROKA + Scientific Triathlon Giveaway to win prizes worth more than $2000m including race entry to an IRONMAN race of your choice and a ROKA Maverick X Wetsuit.
