This week Simon returns with the final of his 3-week solo cast series outlining how he would set up an athlete's training programme following the High Performance Human principles.

In this episode, he turns his attention to the basic principles around swim, bike, and run training and why this is a crucial period if you want to get the most from your race-specific training in 2022.

Specific topics covered include:

To know the best route you have to know where you are headed 

Make the cake before you put the icing on

How much training should you be doing?

Finding your sweet spot

Quit trying to swim faster and focus on reducing drag

The bike - no such thing as junk miles

Running by feel and building a resilient frame

Consistency vs intensity
