"Just doing endurance work is a disaster." So says today's podcast guest, run coach Bobby McGee. I happen to agree with him. Regardless of whether you're training for triathlon or for the individual disciplines of swim, bike, run, JUST doing long, slow, distance work is not going to give you the best outcomes. I think this is even more relevant as you get older.
