Episode Details

If you want to improve your running performance as a triathlete, these are the tried and true sessions that we rely on as triathlon coaches and athletes.

HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: 

• Fartlek workouts to improve your running speed and VO2max
• How we use hills in run sessions for triathletes

• How we prescribe threshold work for running
• We upvote and downvote each others sessions
• A discussion on using percentage based run sessions and the difference between pace vs. speed based percentages

DETAILED EPISODE SHOWNOTES: 

• We have detailed shownotes for all of our episodes. The shownotes are basically the podcast episode in written form, that you can read in 5-10 minutes. They are not transcriptions, but they are also not just surface-level overviews. They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. 
• The shownotes for today's episode can be found at https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts683/
