Summary

Q&A #45 - Intensity unnecessary (?) for Ironman, warm-ups, lactate test timing, and adjusting a training week Is it really necessary to do any intensive training when preparing for an Ironman? Can you just do base miles? When is the best time to get a lactate test? How should you time your warm-up for an Olympic race, considering wave starts, transition area closing and so on? How do you adjust a training week if you are prevented from doing one discipline (e.g. swimming) but could supplement with another (or two)? The impact of heat on carb/fat oxidation ratios (a correction to Q&A #44) LINKS AND RESOURCES: That Triathlon Show website Coaching Training Plans Q&A #44 - Carb/fat combustion based on pace and heart rate; VO2max intervals on flats or uphill Modulation of carbohydrate and fat utilization by diet, exercise and environment Race-day warm-up | EP#35 SPONSORS: ROKA - The finest triathlon wetsuits, apparel, equipment, and performance eyewear on the planet.

0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by
0:06.8	Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:09.3	I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 45.
0:13.5	First, I want to remind you, as I did last week, that I got this suggestion from a listener
0:18.9	to crowdsource tips and advice from people in the
0:22.6	audience that have successfully managed to get the balance between family, job and triathlon
0:28.9	right. So the thinking that I had was to put together a series of short form interviews in one
0:34.5	single episode probably. It could be something like rapid fire questions about
0:38.5	different things regarding time management and tips and tricks to get the training in even
0:43.6	when things are busy. So it might be an interview. It might be just the listeners that are
0:49.1	interested voicemailing me some answers to some predefined questions that I would send you so that we don't
0:55.6	even have to schedule an interview and make time for that. So the format is a bit open still,
1:01.6	but what I'm doing right now is to just collecting names of people that think that they would
1:06.6	fit the bill. And if you are, please put your name in the hat so to say because you are doing
1:12.6	all other listeners a massive favor by doing so by helping out in just giving your tips and
1:19.8	advice for how you have managed to find this sort of balance and what it is that allows you to do
1:26.9	to handle everything and juggle everything.
1:30.4	So to wrap this up, send an email to Michael at ScientificTraflon.com and this Michael
1:35.2	with a K if you are interested in helping out by sharing your advice.
1:41.4	All right.
1:42.1	And thank you to our sponsors as usual. First, we have precision
1:45.8	hydration that you can find on precision hydration.com. Take their free online sweat test.
