Summary

Q&A #89 - Typical training week structures; Frequency and load of hard workouts; Stacking hard workouts; Intensity control during swimming What would be some good starting points for a weekly training structure? How many hard workouts is reasonable to include, and how much of a training load should they comprise? Does the load of hard workouts differ between triathletes and single-sport athletes?  Can stacking harder workouts be a good strategy to get more relative rest between hard days? How can adult-onset swimmers in particular maintain intensity control and avoid overloading too much when it comes to swimming?   LINKS AND RESOURCES: Scientific Triathlon website Coaching Training Plans   SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

questions, big thanks to our sponsors. First, we have precision hydration that you can find on

precision hydration.com. And recently I've seen that quite a lot of athletes

0:23.0

in the absence of racing are setting themselves solo or small group epic adventures, so to say,

0:30.8

like we have ever-resting attempts, we have double marathons and all sorts of things like that.

0:36.9

If that is something that is on your calendar

0:39.5

to do then of course you realize that nutrition hydration is going to be a critical part of it

and in the summer heat especially if you're living in a very hot environment then figuring out
