CoachAJ replied to the topic Heart Rate Training (Again!) in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 4 months ago
Great questions Justin! It’s easy to not ask questions if you aren’t using HR zone training. But if you are, there will always be questions because it’s a big learning curve. So thank you for asking…
1. Everyone has a different LT. The more fit you are, the higher it can be. The younger you are, the higher it can be. However heart rate…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Half Ironman On-Bike Nutrition in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 4 months ago
Thank you for asking the question! If you do small amounts on frequent intervals, it allows your stomach to digest while you are exercising. This minimizes GI issues. And yes, your Gatorade does count towards this total. All calories whether eaten or drank!
Also, sip on your hydration the same way. If you gulp your body can’t absorb it so t…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Half Ironman On-Bike Nutrition in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 4 months ago
Great questions Katie! At least you are giving it a go. Did you attend the nutrition clinic at the clinic days? If so, we discussed a lot of this. I also do a deep dive in the Athlete’s Guide and I also just spoke through all of these specifics at the nutrition clinic that I lead at Peasantman. If you have missed all of these opp…[Read more]

Oh no! Hope you heal quickly physically and mentally! Don’t you have a big race soon?
As Ryan mentions, roads are wet. Trails are wet. Bridges are wet. Everything is wet so slow down, put slightly less PSI in your tires for better traction and please be careful!
Heal up Ryan!

And Hugh is also an excellent resource since he has done IMMD (same course as Eagleman) every year since it’s inception. He will also make you laugh! So go volunteer!

So I am going to try something different. This is how I work with all of my individual coached athletes. I write my feedback in red in their email so I fully answer every question. Since I can’t find red, I will respond in bold and italics. Let’s see if it works on this forum since there is so much to try to weed through in here. However I am…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Peasantman Follow Up in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Fantastic feedback Liz!
- Practice open water swimming. There is no magic pill here. You must make the effort to find open water and practice.
- Practice hills. Even if you are racing a flat race, hill training is the best way to train your HR, get stronger and faster (nature’s weight room) and they make the flat races much easier, mentally an…

Great idea and opportunity Christy! Volunteer is a wonderful way to give back to the sport (and your triathlon friends and colleagues) and a first hand way to learn the ins and outs of the sport. And the DC Tri Club will be there in full force. We have 15+ just from the HIP alone plus all of the other DCTC members racing.
Hope to see you there!

Great feedback Sebastiaan! Smiley always sends me the before and after videos (for those who give him the permission). Sebastiaan’s posture is so much better which will provide better comfort and efficiency. And you can actually hear the increased speed/power in his stroke with his new and improved position.
