AreYouBSC - Finding Your Triathlon Why

The off-season is a critical period of time following your last race.  While it's a time to refresh, it's also a time to lay the foundation for the the new season ahead of you.  We talk about how your off-season can supercharge next year.

We discuss the long run - avoiding injury, proper pace to force physiological adaptation, proper length in relation to overall volume, and how to successfully complete your long runs.

Today we're talking about lactate threshold, lactate threshold field testing, setting training zones, and forcing physiological adaptations so you can improve performance.

We discuss basics of FTP - What is it?  How does it help training and racing?  Do I absolutely need to have a power meter?
