0:00.0	The Triathlon Show, 372.
0:05.2	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast
0:23.1	presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:26.3	I'm my host Michael, and on today's episode, we have the return of Q&A episodes, and the topic
0:30.9	for this one is season planning, goal setting, and personal limiters.
0:35.5	So I talked about this a little bit in last week's episodes
0:39.0	with wanting to reintroduce some Q&A episodes, among other new types of episodes and new
0:45.9	old types of episodes, basically getting a bit more variety and not having just interview
0:50.8	episodes every single week. And this is the first one that I'm creating.
0:56.3	So I put out a call for questions or request for questions on the newsletter and on

1:28.2	You can also email me at any time. So for example, the next Q&A that I do will be on
1:34.2	swim training, maybe in a month for a month and a half or so from now. So you can already start
1:38.3	sending in your questions on email for that if you want to. One thing that I want to comment on here regarding season
1:46.5	planning is that when I wrote season planning, I do not mean periodization. So pure training
1:53.1	and training periodization questions where I did not include in this Q&A, with season planning
