That Traathlon Show, Episode 2.

Hey, what's up? Welcome back to That Trafl Show, the Triathlon podcast produced by Scientific Triathlon.

I'm your host, Michael Erickson, and in this episode, we're going to talk about the eight-step framework that I use to make sure that my triathlon training remains highly effective for a busy life. We're not professional triathletes,

most of us listening to this show anyway, so we need to make sure that we get the most bang for

our training buck. And that's what this episode is all about. So obviously with an eight-step

framework to effective triathlon training, that's such a large concept, right?

So we can't go into much detail on one short podcast episode,

especially since I'm trying to keep these solo episodes short and to the point.

But remember, I do take all the show notes for you,

so you can just go to thattraathlon show.com and check them out.

And also, for a more in-depth resource about this eight-step framework, you can go to scientific triathlon.com forward slash effective.

And I made a video series that you can watch their day where i go into

much more detail in each of these specific steps so with that said let's dive right into

the content of today's episode so the eight steps that i believe every effective triathlon training program and more importantly

triathlon training lifestyle needs to contain are first the distinction between high value and

low value workouts second a periodized approach to training. And that doesn't

look the same for everybody, but there needs to be variation in the training that you do from

month to month and year to year. Next, we have a smart structure to your training week.

And by that I mean that what you do on which days of the week does matter.

And then our fourth point is ancillary training.

So things like strength and conditioning, stretching, foam rolling, that kind of stuff.

And next, nutrition. This is a big one, as I'm sure you appreciate.
