Fatigue is one of the most misunderstood concepts in triathlon. We usually want to carry fatigue, but we don't want to be tired. But how do you know the difference? Today, we look at training fatigue and how to embrace it without getting sick or tired. We also take a deep look into the concept of negative split and how it should play a role in training. Topics: Age is a Number Heat and dew points Gauging Muscular fatigue vs. Tired Training to stay tired A Great Sign of Fitness Signs of being over tired The Swim is a great barometer of tired You shouldn't be totally exhausted!
