S2 Ep 10Functional Threshold
The episode offers guidance on triathlon training, with a specific focus on understanding and utilizing FTP to improve performance. We delve into FTP, explaining what it is, how it's determined, and why it's important for training. FTP is the maximum power output an individual can sustain for about an hour and is key to setting training zones. Methods for measuring FTP are discussed, including lab testing (lactate threshold, gas exchange analysis) and estimation methods using heart rate (HR) and power. We provide examples of how to calculate training zones based on estimated FTP for both HR and power.

S2 Ep 6Getting Started : The Swim Stroke Cycle
In this episode we continue our discussion on getting started in triathlon. This week we focus on swimming technique. Swimming is a technique-driven sport, and learning to swim as an adult is challenging due to the decrease in myelin production with age. We break down the mechanics of the freestyle stroke, including extension, catch, pull, recovery, kicking, and breathing.
S2 Ep 5Getting Started - Running Form
In this episode we look at running and what makes good technique.Running involves generating horizontal, vertical, and rotational forces. The primary goal is to maximize horizontal force and minimize the other two. Horizontal force is maximized by minimizing ground contact time, ideally by landing with the foot under the hips. However, this is difficult because the foot must land at the center of gravity. Leaning forward from the waist is a common mistake, as it promotes heel striking and increases ground contact time. Shoes facilitate this unnatural running style by absorbing shock, whereas barefoot running encourages a more natural midfoot strike. Learning to lean from the ankles instead of the waist helps maintain proper posture and minimizes center of gravity displacement. By practicing good posture and increasing cadence, runners can optimize their technique and minimize ground contact time.
