Show Notes
Coaches Rob & Chris chat through some of the most common myths they hear from athletes about their triathlon training.
By hearing 9 "triathlon myths" debunked, you'll be MUCH better equipped to improve your swimming, biking & running in the most efficient, effective way possible.
Including:
- Why swimming more WON'T necessarily make you FASTER (and how to train to ACTUALLY become a faster swimmer)...
- Why FAST RUNNING is the WORST thing a middle / long distance triathlete can do...
- Why easy running IS NOT junk miles...
- Why long, slow winter miles simply aren't necessarily...
- Why MENTAL strength is important but not at the expense of PHYSICAL strength...
- Why "no days with zero training" is a TERRIBLE idea (and the DIRE consequences of overlooking recovery)...
- Why fasted training DOES NOT promote fat burning (and may well be doing more harm than good)...
- Why you need to focus on much more than JUST POWER to achieve a faster bike split...
- Why achieving a faster run split IS NOT about being a faster runner (and why your bike performance is usually to blame for poor run splits)
