The Traflon Show, 283.

0:05.0

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast

0:23.6

presented by Scientifictraathlon.com. I'm our host Michael, and on today's episode, I'm happy to welcome

0:30.3

back coach David Tilbury Davis. This episode is a bit of a different kind of episode.

0:36.6

It's not strictly an interview, more so

0:39.4

a discussion where David and I sit down and talk about how coaching and training principles

0:45.3

are, seem to be evolving and things that we've been thinking about. Well, specifically

0:50.7

David has been thinking about them and let me in on that. And then have started learning about these same things myself so if you want to pin me down and and ask me well

1:38.1

everybody's cup of tea.

1:39.2

That's okay.

1:40.3

But I think for many listeners, it can be quite eye-opening and a much more unique

1:45.0

an episode that actually makes you think and reflect about things that you do in your coaching

1:49.9

or in your training for that matter. So I hope that many of you will enjoy it and will find

1:54.7

it useful. Just a fair word of warning, it may take a little time to digest all of these things and let it
