Should you train differently for Ironman Wisconsin and Lake Placid than you do for Florida or California? The answer is, yes. Today we talk about the differences in swim, bike, and run training for different courses. We talk about the the grime and grind of tougher swims and rides vs. downstream swims and flatter bikes. They all have their challenges and we get into upper body strength, riding hills, staying in aero, more or less swim training, and how it all affects your run. We also talk about how you can train more specifically to meet the demands of your race, no matter what it is. Lower back sore on the bike? Neck hurt after the swim? Should you ride more big gear or high cadence? It’s all in today’s episode.
