Summary

Q&A #46 - Rest interval duration and body composition benchmarks for elite and age-group triathletes Should rest intervals be a fixed time or based on getting heart rate down to a certain level? What are good target durations for rest intervals or good work:rest ratios for various types of workouts? What is the body composition of elite triathletes like, and should age-groupers also use that as a benchmark?

0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by
0:08.3	Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 46. And as I've done the last
0:15.9	couple of weeks, I will keep reminding you that I'm working on a podcast episode about balancing family,
0:22.4	career and triathlon. So I'm looking for members of the audience to share advice and share
0:28.9	success stories of how you have successfully managed to find this balance. And with that,
0:35.5	still be a successful triathlet while you are managing to do all the other things
0:39.0	that you have on your plate so the exact format and structure is not quite set in stone yet it
0:45.2	could be that we do a short interview or it could be that you just send in a voicemail either way
0:49.4	what i'm looking for right now is for you to just send raise your hand and send an email to michael at scientific draflon

1:28.8	interested and i'll send you more details later big thanks before we go to the questions to our
1:34.5	sponsor's precision hydration that you can find on precision hydration dot com they have a free online
1:40.4	sweat test that will help you find what your sweat rate is and what your sweat
1:45.1	sodium content is because the fact is that your sweat sodium content may vary by something like
1:51.8	tenfold from one person to another so if you rely just on what the standard amount in a in a
1:58.2	sports drink is then you might not be getting enough sodium for what you need.
2:03.5	But there are easy signs actually to tell roughly how much sodium you may need.
