Simon chats with Toby Baxendale in part 2 of this conversation where Toby finally reveals the background to his 421 watt, 20 minute time trial.  Among many subjects they talk about: 
The benefits of polarised training for recovery and overall performance benefits
How a lower carb/high fat approach to nutrition led to an unexpected weight loss with no loss of performance
Why “nose breathing” helps you to control intensity and avoid too much threshold training
The moment when Toby thought I had gone mad
Why improvements in lifestyle were more important than 421 watts
What happened when Toby went “keto” for a 70.3 triathlon
