Summary

Q&A #44 - Carb/fat combustion based on pace and heart rate; VO2max intervals on flats or uphill If heart rate was in zone 4 and pace in zone 2: did you use mostly carbs or fats for fuel?  Can you do track/road intervals on hilly trails, and if so, should they still keep the same structure or can they be free form?  Should mobility work count towards your total training duration?   LINKS AND RESOURCES:   That Triathlon Show website  Coaching Training Plans     SPONSORS: ROKA - The finest triathlon wetsuits, apparel, equipment, and performance eyewear on the planet.

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by

0:06.1

ScientificTraathlon.com.

0:08.7

I'm your host Michael, and this episode is Q&A number 44.

0:13.1

Before we get into this episode, just a little bit of a heads-up, I have some works going on in

0:18.6

my apartment, so there might be some background noise.

0:22.3

Let's hope it's nothing too bad so that you can still hear the audio properly.

0:27.9

But yeah, just a fair warning for you before we get into the episode today.

0:33.4

I also have a house cleaning item, which is actually a listener suggestion to crowdsource tips and advice from members of the audience that successfully balance family, career and triathlon.

0:47.4

So the thinking that this listener had was to put together sort of short form interviews, maybe in the form of rapid

0:55.8

fire questions regarding time management tips, etc. Or even just sending in voicemails,

1:01.5

so you could potentially send in voicemails directly just based on some sort of template

1:07.1

question that I could provide you with. And then we wouldn't even have to go to the trouble

1:11.5

of scheduling an interview because by definition you are probably very busy so that might be an

1:17.0

issue so my call to action is this if you are an athlete that successfully balances family

1:23.8

career and triathlon or whatever your chosen endurance sport is, just email me and let me know.

1:30.7

And we can either schedule a short interview or I'll give you instructions for how to leave a

1:36.1

voicemail and what sort of questions to answers and tips to give. So hopefully a lot of you,

1:41.1

you don't need to be like a Kona qualifier or Kona winner or anything like that.

1:45.7

If you manage to train consistently and you manage to improve from wherever your starting

1:50.3

point is, then you can, for all intents and purposes, consider yourself a successful

1:55.5

athlete in this manner. So don't think that the bar is set too high by any means.

2:02.2

All right.
