So today’s episode goal is simple; we’re going to give you 4 training sessions you simply must be including in your training program and 4 common sessions that we really think you should avoid.

"I want to do an Ironman in 14 weeks, can you help me?
I’ve never done one before..”

If you know us and you know this podcast; you know that question is like nails on a chalkboard.. This was the question Mitch asked us last year in August, as he had started training for the Busso IM in December.

In today’s case study episode, we’re going to take you through why despite our preferences; we helped Mitch to his first Ironman and what happened over the next 14 weeks to make it possible.

If you think that the way to get fitter, faster is just to train more - you’re wrong.

Improvement comes from training + recovery. Not just training.

The consequences of overtraining can be severe: It Can Take Months (or Longer) to Recover From

So often we need to ask ourselves, are you not training well? Or are you just too tired?

As always this episode is brought to you by Giant. For all your bike training and racing needs, ride life, ride giant.
