Ask the Coaches: Listener Q and A

It's been a while since we have done a coach Q and A, so we loved answering our team's questions in this podcast. We answer questions for all types of athletes, from duathletes to gravel racers to runners to triathletes (of course!). We cover topics like post workout and race fueling, advice for buying a TT bike, and how to move up to a longer distance. And as usual, sometimes Angela and Amy have different perspectives when answering these questions, because like we always say, one size does not fit all when it comes to training, racing, and life. Topics covered: Tips for jumping up to a marathon or full Ironman Timing of protein shake and fueling before or after workouts Special swim trainers Recovery from a big race How much time and what to do at end of season  How to move into duathlon from cycling Best way to balance training with multiple disciplines… gravel, long course tri, short course tri When is it time to get a TT bike, from a road bike and advice Is fueling for 140.6 the same as 70.3? Advice? Bike shorts or tri shorts for the ironman bike  Racing in a swim suit?
