Hi Folks and Happy New Year!  To kick off 2019 I’m bringing you 4 guests who I interviewed about 18 months ago during trip to the Training Peaks conference in Boulder.  The conversations were originally recorded for Tri 247 and links are below if you’d like to watch the videos.  The Dave Scott video is particularly funny.  Each chat is on a different subject and each expert provides some very useful tips that you can use straight away.

First up, “The Man” Dave Scott who shares his top 5 tips for more efficient running form.  Hear also when Dave becomes the second person recently to poke fun at my weight.

Secondly, Prof Paul Laursen who talks about:

Defines performance, health & longevity and explains why all are important for the best triathlon performances

The “overfat syndrome” and why high volume triathletes can sometimes look fat

The Prof offers one tip each to improve your own health, performance and longevity

Next up, Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Jess Elliott.

Why good mobility comes before strength when building a solid foundation

How a good S&C programme helps you to “turn up” for more sessions

Jess’ top 5 tips for your S&C programme

Finally we have Kathy Zawadzki, expert trainer of Masters athletes (over 40 years old) who emphasizes:

Importance of being realistic and flexible in your planning

Why high intensity training is important for older athletes

To boost training quality, increase recovery between reps

The importance of hydration for older athletes
