Now that we have the Kick Off Meeting behind us….next up is our Clinic Days. As I mentioned at the Kick Off Meeting, post-training program surveys demonstrate that those participants that attended both clinic days had a greater overall positive experience throughout the season. This is your education for the season(s) ahead! Therefore, we enco…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Training while traveling in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 6 years, 7 months ago
Thank you, Victoria, for the excellent ideas! Your ‘general’ ideas are the most important. You can workout while you are traveling. However if you do not take care of yourself, when you return, that jet lag can take another few days or weeks away from you.
I was hoping the weekend would allow others to jump in on the conversation! Eve…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Nutrition for long bike / anyone doing masters in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 6 years, 7 months ago
Great questions Charles!
Who else is doing master’s? We all can benefit from it since swimming is all about technique!
As for your questions regarding on-bike nutrition, most athletes can’t handle only simple sugars (gels, sports drink and the like) for long course racing. Thus this is where I encourage you to start adding in ‘whole’ or real f…[Read more]

Great question Elena and thank you for getting another good discussion started. Since this will likely apply to all of us at some point in time, what do others do when they travel?
I will start by offer some resources for everyone’s favorite excuse not to swim while traveling…[Read more]

Thank you to everyone that came out last night. We had a full house so thank you for prioritizing the Kick Off Meeting over the unseasonably warm weather.
For those of you who couldn’t not attend or would like to relisten, please find the recording. It’s not perfect but the best we could do given what we had available to us. Also, due to int…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Hill Repeats, Distance (Length)? in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 6 years, 7 months ago
Hi Nick,
Great question! So there is a reason for the lack of detail. First off, no one has the same hill and not everyone has the same experience level. Instead of worrying about whether the hill is long enough or steep enough, I would rather have you focus on what is the purpose of the workout.
The purpose of the workout is to do ex…[Read more]

Thank you for getting the conversation started, Abri! First off, please don’t address questions specifically to me.

Thank you Carlos for sending along your race recap! And congratulations on a excellent race at Augusta! It even provided you a PR! It’s nice to have an apples to apples comparison for this measure.
I am sure this is a swim PR for you and it will be hard to beat. This is an awesome current assisted swim! That said, I don’t know any of us who ca…[Read more]

Congratulations Juan on a great race, PR and podium performance. You were so close to breaking sub 5 hours. Very impressive!
That said, it seems that your break down around mile 11 or so was a pacing issue. I will compare it to ‘hitting the wall’ in a marathon since it’s prime road racing season and many of my athletes are training and ra…[Read more]
