#708 – Listener Q&A - 8-24-23

Good questions from the group today. We start with understanding how this heat affects us and how we can handle it better in workouts. We look at cooling down on the fly and when it's not possible. We talk about what we would do if somehow we were running the Ironman brand. We talk about swimming in the ocean and/or with big chop. Strategies for current, waves and other people in the way. We look at negative splitting workouts and talk about it from an effort perspective as well. Settling in on your swims. We also talk about watts and whether or not you should try to increase them at the end of a 70.3 or Full. And, we get into bike fit, position, seat angle, etc. and look at how all of these things affect you on the run. Topics: When the heat just gets into you Cooling down while moving . . . possible? 5 year plan if we were CEO's of Ironman Condense the amount of IM races?
