Translating Pool Speed to the Open Water | Ep 490
In this video we talk through ways that you can swim faster in open water without necessarily having to improve your swim fitness.
Many triathletes struggle to translate their pool speed and improvements into the open water.
There are lots of different variables to consider when it comes to open water swimming vs pool swimming.
From ensuring your wetsuit helps rather than hinders your body position in the water ...
...to your ability to sight well and swim in a straight line...
...to learning how to draft effectively off of other swimmers' feet.
I also explain our top tips for drills to practice in the pool that will help get you "open water ready". Covering everything from breathing exercises to body position to maximising the power and effectiveness of your catch and pull.
I'm sure after watching this video you'll feel much better equipped as you venture into the open water for the first time in a while, and will be ready to translate those hard-earned speed gains from the pool!

The #1 MUST-DO Training Session Before Race-Day | Ep 488
Did you know almost everybody's power numbers are different outdoors when compared to indoors?
Often there's as much as a 5-10% difference, with the more "favourable" numbers from training indoors.
I've spoken to dozens - probably hundreds - of IRONMAN athletes who assumed their indoor power numbers were directly transferable to outdoor riding, resulting in them riding at too high an intensity during their bike leg, and REALLY suffering on the run as a result.
Thankfully there's a relatively straightforward way in training, to avoid this catastrophic mistake on raceday and in this video, I walk you through the what, why, how and when.

THREE Simple Tips to Avoid Overtraining | Ep 487
The "more is better" mentality is very common amongst triathletes, but often causes more problems than it solves.
If you've ever experienced the feeling of overwhelming fatigue, and "easy" training sessions feeling anything but easy, you're most likely a victim of overtraining. This video is a must watch for you!
We dive into the importance of recovery - the most overlooked and valuable aspect of a triathlete's training program, and why you simply won't make the performance gains you're capable of if you don't plan and allow yourself adequate recovery time.
We also explain how measuring your HRV (heart rate variability) helps ensure your training is focused only on what your body is capable of absorbing, and the dangers of trying to fight the signals your body is sending you.
And finally - the dreaded "GREY ZONE" of training - avoid this at all costs!

Three Nutrition & Hydration Strategies to Maximise IRONMAN & 70.3 Performance | Ep 485
Fuelling (hydration, electrolytes & nutrition) can so easily derail your performance on race day, even if you're in the shape of your life.
In fact for many age-group triathletes, it's an afterthought. So many people jeopardise the hundreds of hours of training they've completed by not taking care of fluid and calorie needs on race day.
Do you know your sweat rate? The amount and concentration of sweat you typically lose per hour? And how it varies in different conditions? Or how many calories & carbs you need in order to fuel yourself effectively? And can you actually absorb the amount you need without ending up in the portaloo queue?
I talk about all these things and more in this video. If you're an age-group triathlete who wants their race performance to be a great reflection of your capabilities and dedication to training, this is a MUST WATCH
