Welcome to the TriDOTP podcast.

Really great episode today where we're going to talk about running off the bike.

This is like my favorite thing to do in all of triathlon.

I love a good run off the bike session for a lot of reasons.

I'll share as we get deeper into the show.

But I have one tri-dot coach here with me today,

and he and I are going to go back and forth just talking about just some strategy and some coaching

tips for how to succeed in a runoff the bike session, as well as we're actually going to put on

the screen the workout patterns for the runs off the bike that an athlete will see in the tri-dot

workout catalog.

And Coach Matt Summer is going to talk us through how to perform each of these sessions

that an athlete will actually see in Tridot.

Coach Matt is a multiple Boston Marathon finisher, multiple Iron Man finisher.

He's the fitness director of Alamance Country Club in North Carolina, a strength and conditioning coach by trade and a triathlon coach running coach by passion. I always love having him on the show. Coach Matt, how are you today? Andrew, I'm doing fantastic. It's been way too long since I've been on here with you. You know, I think it's just you and me today. We're going to have our work cut out for us who's going to talk more. But I always love being on here, sharing some knowledge, sharing some passion, and just helping the TriDop family become the best version of themselves. So thanks for having me on. We can talk plenty of the two of us, that's for sure. We can talk plenty. I am Andrew, the average triathlete, voice of the people and captain of the middle of the pack.

As always, we'll get crank in with our warm-up question, settle into our main set conversation about running off the bike, and then we'll wind things down by asking Coach Matt a question from our audience on the cool down. Lots of good stuff. Let's get to it. This is the TriDOT podcast, the triathlon show that brings you world-class coaching

with every conversation.

Let's get started with today's warm-up.

For our warm-up question today, Coach Matt, you've done a lot of races.

I've done some races.

The people in our audience have certainly done a tremendous amount of races.

And I'm curious to hear from all of our athletes, yourself included, from every medal you've received from crossing a finish line.

What medal in your collection is your absolute favorite?
