CoachAJ replied to the topic Moving workouts around questions in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 7 months ago
No need to redo your LT/FTP test. They test the same thing (and correlate them) if you use both your HR monitor and power meter.
Here are my recommendations for you to follow to adjust your schedule.
No more than two days of longer and/or harder workouts without a recovery day. A recovery day is an easier swim workout, EASY high cadence sp…[Read more] -
CoachAJ replied to the topic Heart Rate Training in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 7 months ago
Great feedback Jorge! Yes, if you don’t set your LT in TP, every time you push hard or harder, I get an email in my inbox from Training Peaks. For some of you, I have received so many that either you are continuing to gain fitness with heaps and bounds or you haven’t updated your LT or haven’t updated it properly 🙂
It’s a process! However th…[Read more]

Thank you for the helpful feedback Nicole! We appreciate everyone coming out and hopefully everyone else found it as educational too!
To anyone who has never been to TriMania, it is an another educational experience! Mark, even director, used to do a TriMania in DC. He has since ceased doing so due to the cost. However it was always an ama…[Read more]

See you at the clinics at 8:30 am on Sunday! We will start promptly at 9 am since we have a lot to cover unique to the Ironman distance. The HIP group will be joining at 9:45 am to further speak to long course racing.
It will be a great day to gain a whole lot of education and experience!

Great question Justin! The answers are likely yes all around. Probably not what you want to hear but let’s break it down.
Heart rate zone training is a process. You will likely NOT get it right the first time you test or the first time you try to execute on your HR targets. It just takes some time and a whole lot of practice. First and fore…[Read more]

Let’s take a raise of hands who feels conditioned enough to take on a 30 minute time trial test for the bike and 30 minute time trial test for your run this week?
Given previous experience, likely not many 🙂 For this reason, the baseline tests are after your first build cycle instead. However if you looked ahead, what kind of workouts do you…[Read more]
