IRONMAN Success: The 8 things age-groupers MUST do | Ep 479

Triathlon training tips and coaching advice for busy age-groupers training for IRONMAN &amp; 70.3 triathlon. Awe-inspiring age-group stories with triathletes achieving extra-ordinary things in their sporting pursuits

Sports

The "more is better" mentality is very common amongst triathletes, but often causes more problems than it solves.


If you've ever experienced the feeling of overwhelming fatigue, and "easy" training sessions feeling anything but easy, you're most likely a victim of overtraining. This video is a must watch for you!

We dive into the importance of recovery - the most overlooked and valuable aspect of a triathlete's training program, and why you simply won't make the performance gains you're capable of if you don't plan and allow yourself adequate recovery time.


We also explain how measuring your HRV (heart rate variability) helps ensure your training is focused only on what your body is capable of absorbing, and the dangers of trying to fight the signals your body is sending you.


And finally - the dreaded "GREY ZONE" of training - avoid this at all costs!

How to Train Like a Professional Triathlete | Ep 486

Fuelling (hydration, electrolytes & nutrition) can so easily derail your performance on race day, even if you're in the shape of your life.


In fact for many age-group triathletes, it's an afterthought. So many people jeopardise the hundreds of hours of training they've completed by not taking care of fluid and calorie needs on race day.


Do you know your sweat rate? The amount and concentration of sweat you typically lose per hour? And how it varies in different conditions? Or how many calories & carbs you need in order to fuel yourself effectively? And can you actually absorb the amount you need without ending up in the portaloo queue?


I talk about all these things and more in this video. If you're an age-group triathlete who wants their race performance to be a great reflection of your capabilities and dedication to training, this is a MUST WATCH

Three Nutrition & Hydration Strategies to Maximise IRONMAN & 70.3 Performance | Ep 485

If you've ever been tempted to train when you're feeling under the weather, because you're worried that you'll lose fitness if you don't, this video is a must-watch for you!


This week I talk about common mistakes I see athletes make when they're ill or injured, and why more often than not their gut-instinct risks significant damage to their training progress. 


But good news - I also provide really simple, unambiguous protocols of how to navigate illness from a training perspective, such that you'll lose minimal fitness and be back to full strength as fast as possible
