Summary

Q&A #40 - When to choose a road bike in a non-draft race, using half or full Ironmans in the lead-up to a big goal race, and making up calories after big days of training How do you know if you should choose a road bike or a tri bike for very hilly races like Ironman 70.3 Nice? Can you use half and full Ironmans in the lead-up to an important goal race or are you better off just training? Should you make up all calories expended on a big day of training that same day, or can you make them up the following day?

0:06.7	Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 40. This is where I would
0:13.6	usually ask you to send in questions for the Q&A episodes, but today what I want to ask you is instead
0:20.6	to send in suggestions for how to improve the episodes. But today what I want to ask you is instead to send in suggestions for
0:22.5	how to improve the podcast. I always want to be improving and make it the best podcast experience,
0:29.2	triathlon podcast experience that you have, or maybe even podcast experience in general.
0:33.9	So if there's anything that you're missing, that you'd like to see see me do, see me add to the podcast or anything that you would like to see trashed, any feedback is welcome, constructive criticism.
