This is very impressive work Romain! It’s often hard to make productive analysis of swim workouts due to the water medium. However this is some thoughtful investigative work. Congratulations on teasing out these findings.
We can also offer tips and drills at the swim stroke analysis clinics. So be sure to attend to gain this feedback too!

Not a silly question! Yes, swim, bike, run, foam roll. They are all active based so be ready with all of your appropriate gear! Even the classroom seminars (like injury prevention) will likely have you being active so please dress appropriately too!
Great question 🙂

Has everyone else done the one time sync between Training Peaks and your Garmin/sports watch? If not, as Jorge stated, now is the time to do so. This way you can track your progress from start to finish.
Here’s to an organized start!

At this point you are going to have to contact Training Peaks. It seems to be a personal issue with your Training Peaks account.

Fantastic feedback Jim! Nice work diving into the your previous data and your current data to recognize opportunity (particularly if it will minimize your risk for injury, as well as provide strength and speed).
A couple of things…

Good afternoon all,
Since the skills clinics are upon us, please find the agenda for both March 3 and March 10. While they are a large part of your Sunday, past participant surveys have demonstrated that those who attended both clinic days had a much more enriched training program experience and received much more value for their investment.

What is the purpose of the workout? Some people will use a 3.5 minute hill. Others will only have access to a 2 minute hill. It’s the purpose that matters!

More specifically, the High Cloud Foundation, that provides resources to schools and orphanages in underprivileged communities wo…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Swim training description in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 7 months ago
Good questions Joe!
As we talked about at the kick off meeting and described in the athlete’s guide, the t-pace is your base pace for your 1,000 meter swim test. This is basically your average swim pace.
So what is the point of this workout? What is the title of the workout? What is the workout ask of you? What pacing is it exp…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic HR zones doubts in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 7 months ago
As I mentioned in both the Athlete’s Guide and at the kick off meeting, there are literally thousands of different ways to calculate your heart rate (and power) zones and you will get varying numbers with each calculation. The slides I did not have a chance to review at the kick off meeting because we ran out of time, (however I still summarized…[Read more]

Good questions and great feedback Jorge!
Yes, if you are going to add aerobars to your road bike, only do so if you are getting fit for them. And since everyone needs a professional 3D Fit, now is the time to get your aerobars fit at the same time. Please do not put them on yourself and ride with them without a proper fit. (Think high risk fo…[Read more]

Unfortunately Eagleman sold out over a week ago. So anyone else in Keegan’s position is going to need to find a new race asap. There are not many options open so please get on this now. We had another individual with the same position last weekend and he opted for Ohio (which is open, in July and with limited availability). Otherwise, the…[Read more]
