• #888 – Zone Zero

  We can't go hard all the time. Movement is medicine and those movements should have different speeds. Today we get into Zone Zero or active recovery or supplemental movement. It doesn't matter what you call it, it's a key piece of the big picture puzzle. And often it doesn't even include motion directly related to triathlon. We'll go over simple ways to ensure longevity and even race better by giving your recovery the attention it deserves. ----------- Looking for a great way to empower your training, explore your limits, and exist in the moment?

Walking for your health Supplemental movements Trying to fix the problem with the problem Just don't think about it Extra BP to get out of a slump F*ck around with no agenda It's all projection What's sustainable? Park your car further away When the mainstream thinks we're dumb The road less travelled takes conviction People may think you're crazy, but make them think you're crazier Do you skip recovery? Call it active recovery Do you move or sit on your ass? What's gonna help the work be better?

• #885 – Heart Rate, Power, or RPE?

  Today we look at the three dominant metrics in triathlon: Heart Rate, Power, and RPE. Which one is right for you, and does that answer change with different variables? We look at things like time of the day, time of the year, and adjusting based on how you feel. We tackle questions like intensity vs. volume and look at different scenarios depending on if you're racing an Ironman or something shorter. We talk Vo2 max and look at whether or not you should even be thinking about it. And we also get into how a lot of triathletes screw up their races with nutrition. Topics: Wetsuit legal questions Dominant metrics When to use power vs HR vs RPE Does the time of day matter? Different stress from different pools Hot water, cold water, shallow water When are you strongest on the bike? Is HR higher in the morning? Warm ups Lower volume, higher intensity Swim hard, bike aerobic, run hard? Looking at numbers too often How we screw up our races with nutrition Smash test for a 15 hour race? Vo2 Max - small piece of the puzzle Keep it alive and primed Putting in the real volume   Mike Tarrolly - [email protected] Robbie Bruce - [email protected]
