Summary

Q&A #67 - Back-to-back workouts; Rest days, workout frequency, and dosage; 70.3 race fueling; Fasted workouts vs. fueled workouts What are the benefits and drawbacks of doing workouts back-to-back compared to e.g. doing one workout in the morning and one at lunch? Is it better to spread out the same number of total workouts over more days (and fewer rest days) or less days (and more rest days)? Considerations for 70.3 race nutrition planning and training  When is it ok to do fasted workouts and when should you do them well-fueled with good carbohydrate availability?   LINKS AND RESOURCES: That Triathlon Show website  Coaching Training Plans World Champions keep things simple: training masterclass with Joel Filliol | EP#172 Lactate and bioenergetics: quantifying and improving endurance performance with Shannon Grady | EP#190 Generation UCAN: Will It Benefit Your Running Performance? - article by John Davis, Runners Connect     SPONSORS: ROKA - The finest triathlon wetsuits, apparel, equipment, and performance eyewear on the planet.

Hey, happy new year, everybody, and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented

0:05.5

by scientific triathlon.com. I'm your host Michael, and this episode is Q&A number 67, so our first

0:13.6

episode of 2020. I hope you are off to a really good start of the new year, And as it is a new year, I wanted to take the

0:22.5

opportunity to ask you to, if you have any suggestions for topics for the podcast or guests

0:29.0

that you want to hear or general feedback, then please send it in to Michael at scientific

0:33.7

triathlon.com. And it's Michael with a K. And then I definitely want to hear everything

0:39.2

that you that you think could improve the podcast and keep making it better and be the best

0:46.0

listener experience for you that I can make it. In regards to guests, I just want to mention

0:52.0

that I get a lot of suggestions for guests and

1:11.1

1:15.3

show. So there are a few notable examples of names that come up time and time again that

1:20.8

people want to hear and I try to contact them and get in touch with them, but I just don't

1:26.1

succeed. So bear that in mind that it's

1:28.0

not that I don't take your consideration into account. It's just that some people simply

1:33.4

don't want to be on podcast interviews, I guess. But that being said, if you are somebody that

1:38.5

knows somebody who is one of the really great people in the sport, whether they are well known or less well known,

1:46.2

but still top class experts, whether they are coaches or researchers or other industry people,

1:53.6

introductions to potential guests are always good.

1:56.5

But please run it through me first because I always do want to go through my due diligence process before accepting anybody as a guest on the podcast.
