IRONMAN Training? Don’t make these mistakes! | Ep 461

On this week’s show, coaches Rob and Chris answer questions from listeners & athletes with an Ironman in their sights for the coming season.

They cover:

• Will you progress faster by adding more intensity to your training?
• What to do if your FTP dropped since your last test?
• How should you adapt training if you’re ill?
• How often should you add run races as part of your training?
• Can you do a sprint race 3 weeks before an Ironman?
• When should a night-shift worker take HRV readings?
• Will you get burned out if you start training a year before your Ironman?
