#799 – Durability And Fatigue Resistance

Want to race better? Master the principles in this podcast. Today, we look at what's really important for long course triathlon. The ability to hold form and effort over a long period of time. You can make it rocket science if you want, but the principles are pretty easy. Don't break down. But how do you get to that point? We talk about how to get there and nail the omnipresent philosophy of: It's not how fast you go, but how little you slow down. We look at how fatigue masks fitness, how it's important to test with fatigue, holding form when you need it most and the the real concept behind being "strong" in triathlon.
