IRONMAN Training? Don't make these mistakes! | Ep 461

On this week’s show, coaches Rob and Chris answer questions from listeners & athletes with an Ironman in their sights for the coming season. They cover: Will you progress faster by adding more intensity to your training? What to do if your FTP dropped since your last test? How should you adapt training if you’re ill? How often should you add run races as part of your training? Can you do a sprint race 3 weeks before an Ironman? When should a night-shift worker take HRV readings? Will you get burned out if you start training a year before your Ironman? * * * * * * * * SPONSORS * * * * * * * * ⁠Team Oxygenaddict⁠ Like what you heard in this interview?
