#704 – Your Final Race Block

Whether you feel behind or confident going into your race, this podcast is for you. Today, we look at the most important things you can do in your final training block to be ready on race day. We look at the demands of the swim and how you can prepare with your last month or so of training. We talk about the importance of the bike, including strength, ability to stay even, and how to stay away from too many surges. We look at stress, lactic build up, going from coasting to engaged, and how to balance your bike effort for 112 miles. We also look at the run and talk about why it's so dependent on a good bike. And finally, if you're behind, we talk about the most important parts of getting yourself into the strongest position possible on race day. Topics: Is it hot or cool? Can you handle the heat?
