#443 – Listener Questions 1_14_21

Today we turn the podcast over to listener questions from our closed Facebook Group (Search Crushing Iron Group). We get into swim training without a pool, how to run more frequently when you’re trying to get better on the bike, too. How athletes with more muscle can get faster. Liquid vs. solid nutrition. Running slow vs. Running easy. Periodization in your training plan. Activating your lats in the pool. Don’t forget to check out our C26 Club Program at c26triathlon.com 

Topics:

• Hypothetical 70.3 vs. Full Training/Racing Question . . . who would win?
• What’s the Best approach to train for the swim without swimming?
• How does everyone fit in the 6 run sessions (How to not suck at running) along with everything else swim, bike, strength?
• Do you ever wish you started Ironman training earlier in life?
• What’s the best way for athletes that carry more muscle to train?
• I understand run frequency is important this time of year, but what do you do if your biking is also a limiter? Is there an approach to address both?
• Does the running phenomena of “junk miles” really exist?
• Liquid nutrition on the bike over solid, what are your views?
• What are each of your favorite podcasts? Least favorites?
• How can I do a better job activating my lats when I swim?
• Slow running vs. Easy running and shouldn’t I be seeing myself getting faster?
• What’s your view on periodization? Prep/base/build/peak/taper structure.
