0:00.0	Welcome to episode 432 of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by
0:27.1	Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:29.5	I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I have a solo episode where the format is
0:34.7	coaching thoughts, which is something that readers of the Scientific
0:37.9	Trafflin newsletter are probably quite familiar with.
0:40.7	And for long time, listeners, it is similar to what I did back in the TTS Thursday series
0:46.4	where I picked one particular topic and discussed it in some depth.
0:50.4	It's not exactly the same though, in that context I was quite structured and ordered
0:56.3	having episodes dedicated to swim bike and run training, then strength training, racecraft,
1:02.3	nutrition and so on.
1:03.4	Whereas my intention with the coaching thoughts episodes like this would be more to tackle

1:19.4	episodes. So normally it would be things that I recently had discussions with athletes or other
1:25.1	coaches about or things that I've observed in my group of athletes or,
1:29.6	for that matter, in my own training. And this means that these topics are often quite contextual,
1:35.5	for example, contextual to a certain type of athlete that I'm working with. And I will, of course,
1:40.6	explain that for each topic, but I do want to make it really clear that a lot of
1:44.5	these topics i bring up are i bring them up as food for thought uh that may or may not be applicable
1:50.7	to you as especially when we're dealing with the finer details of training the nuances rather than
1:56.2	the big picture stuff there is nothing that is universally applicable. It always depends on the context.
2:02.0	But I'll do my best to explain this as well as possible for each particular topic.
