Michael and Keith give some training updates then discuss Base Training, why we do it, what you are trying to accomplish, and what approach is best for you. They then give a Weekly Workout and answer a couple questions before covering the most recent news, including race recaps of Ironman Florida and WTCS Abu Dhabi. 

Michael and Keith dive into the differences between having a coach and trying to navigate the training yourself, as well as how you know if a coach is the right fit and when to hire a coach. They also do a brief recap of 70.3 Oceanside.
