At the end of this episode, you’ll know: 👉 The specific changes to your training schedule that MUST happen as you move from your Winter Training block to the Race Specific phase 👉 What the Key and Supporting sessions should consist of each week, for swim, bike and run 👉 If, when and how to incorporate Open Water swimming in this phase of training 👉 Why sleep is your most precious yet overlooked training resource, why it's one of your biggest opportunities to get fitter and faster, and how to structure your training around it 👉 Strength and Conditioning - what to do, and what NOT to do 👉 The supporting pillars or training - Sleep, Eating Healthily, Not drinking Alcohol, Controlling Stress - and why you'll NEVER perform to your potential without addressing each of these head on 👉 How to plan for when illness, work and social commitments mean you have to change your plan - and they inevitably will! 👉 How to fuel your long sessions - carbs, calories, fluid and electrolytes - as practice for fueling your race day.
