Today we look at ways to work on little things that matter instead of always grinding yourself to the core. Better economy and efficiency go a LONG ways in this sport, so how do you get better inside a typical training session. We look at different ways you can work the swim, bike, and run to keep your HR in a solid place, but create more stimulus. We look at how to becomg a more well rounded athlete and create balance in your body. We talk about growth inside the zone. We get into what soreness and fatigue tell us about our body. We talk a lot about hills and why they are king. Being in a zone and dog walking hacks.
