Training
Power profiling, a field-based method that quantifies the relationship between maximum sustainable power output and time, provides an alternative to laboratory-based assessments for athletes, aiding in training, performance monitoring and potentially assessing 'durability' in endurance sports.
Training
Exploring the impact of low-carbohydrate diets on substrate oxidation rates during exercise, Noakes and Volek highlight surprising increases in fat oxidation rates, even at high intensities, challenging traditional understandings of metabolic fuel use.
Training
Making a plan for calming your mind, grounding yourself, using mantras and cue words will help you execute your best possible race when the pressure is on.
Training
Applying psychological principles like visualisation, unity with goals, and connecting to core values allows triathletes to harness the full motivational power of setting bold, achievement-oriented goals.
Training
By combining visualisation, goal setting, and mental preparedness, triathletes can boost their race-day performance, tackle challenges effectively, and strengthen their confidence.
Training
Seasoned triathletes know that going long in the base-building phase with a mix of long easy rides and some high intensity work is key to improving cycling speed and endurance for triathlons.
Training
Lactate is a metabolic product produced during the metabolism of carbohydrates that can be used as a fuel source for muscles.
Training
To swim great freestyle, minimise drag by assuming a streamlined body posture with level alignment and lack of wiggling. Keep it simple and practice the Ball Float, Human Paddle, and Over-Under Freestyle exercises.
Training
Using lactate to prescribe exercise intensity can be a valuable tool for endurance athletes to regulate the intensity of their training sessions, particularly during long sessions.
Training
Understanding and managing durability, or the decline in the first threshold of moderate-to-heavy intensity during prolonged exercise, is an important factor in successful Ironman training.
Training
The off-season is a period of rest and recovery after a major event or the end of the racing season, during which athletes can mentally and physically freshen up while minimising loss of training adaptations.
Training
Combining drills with full stroke freestyle provides the best opportunity to improve that transfers to competitive performance. We’ll explore combining drills and when to use them.
Training
Regular breaks are crucial in endurance training, aiding in recovery and improving performance, despite the initial fitness loss.
Training
Planning, power, rest, adaptation, consistency, training, intake, conditioning, and energy are the critical elements triathletes need to focus on to achieve top bike performance.
Training
Sorry to bust your bubble but there is no quick fix to becoming a better triathlete. However there's some things that everyone can learn about.
