The biggest thing I think with a triathlet of any level is knowing, knowing paces and how to pace themselves.

That Treflin Show, episode 23. Hey, what's up everybody, welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

As always, I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, we have an interview with

Sean Jefferson, who is a professional triathlete, coming from a professional running background,

and he has a mild p.B, which is a smoking fast sub four minute mile and we are going to

talk about run training for triathletes because he has a thing or two to say about that and

knows his stuff when it comes to running he among other things is actually the running coach

of holly lawrence who is at the moment

the best female 70.3 triathlete in the world having won the world championships last year

and dominating so far this season as well.

So before we go into the interview, and Sean used to be on the Nike professional running team

based in Eugene, Oregon, and was running for them for a couple of seasons, but injury problems

halted his running career. So that's when he turned to triathlon at first just to keep fit,

but pretty quickly he qualified for a pro license

so it's a pretty great story that he has and also he had no swimming background whatsoever so

that's something that we are talking about in the interview as well because he in that regard has

the same background as many of many of the listeners do with coming from maybe running or

cycling or no endurance sports background at all and swimming is a challenge and he had those same

issues so we talk about how he tackled those and part of that solution was actually employing

the help of a former interview on the podcast jerry Rodriguez, who's still to this day, I think the third most downloaded episode back in episode three.

So you can go and check that out.
