#656 – Short Course Racing - Part 2 - Sprints and Olympics

02 Feb 2023

Description

Sprints and Olympics are where people get into the sport and how it grows.  Today we look at the intensity of your training and racing. We ask about your background then examine how that applies to training We talk about beginner, seasoned short course racers, and Ironman to Olympic racing strategy. We talk about impatience and how that can lead to injury. We talk pacing for Sprints and Olys (hint… mostly all-out) and taking shorter races seriously. Track work, skipping progressions, raising the Vo2 and strides. We also detail how to ramp up training and intervals to keep you happy and healthy in the journey.  Topics: It's where the sport grows Del Boca Vista story Niacin  Sprints/Olympics are NOT "lesser than" Layering intensity What's your background?
