That Traathlon Show, episode 56.

Hey, what's up, everybody?

Welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

I'm your host Michael, and on today's show, I'll answer some of your listener questions, including training and especially running for heavy or overweight athletes, whether you still can improve

at 48 years young, core of strength and maintenance routines, how to break through performance

plateaus, and optimizing recovery. And just to remind you before starting answering your questions, you can send me your questions

to Michael at Scientific Triathlon.com. And whether I answer these questions on air or not, I try to

always answer them to you directly in an email. The questions have been flowing in at a very good

rate in the last couple of months,

so I just picked out a few of the best or most important or most interesting questions

for this episode, and I will be answering more of them in the future. So do let me know as

well what you think about these Q&A episodes. One final thing before we dive into the questions.

At the end of this episode, I'll mention the findings from a super thorough and well-written

publication on the impact of different diets on body composition, as that's something

that I keep getting a ton of questions about.

And the results may surprise you you so stick around until the very end but before that let's start with question number one

which is from James in Florida

he writes hey Michael as a-pound man who was 330 pounds nine months ago, and that's for the European listeners and non-imperial units, 150 kilograms to 122 kilograms, the training wrecks my body, especially running.

It's getting better and easier, but any general tips for large men.

I'm pushing when I can and resting when I need.

I'm doing my first sprint next month and I'm confident in a finish, but I'd like to do better

than just participate.
