When they said Ollie, at first I thought it was Ollie from GCN!

I typically run one sprint or olympic triathlon per month from March through October. Currently I'm focusing on my run so I do 4xrun, 2xbike, 2xswim and 2xlifts per week with a good mix (80/20) of zone 2 and high intensity. I do 1 workout in the morning and 1 in the evening taking every 3rd day off for recovery with every 3rd week being a cut week (60% total training volume). As an age grouper (60) I prioritize my recovery. Currently my swim pace is 1:25/100m, I average 21mph on the bike and my run pace is 8:20/mile. Hoping to complete an Ironman in under 10 before I hit 70.

Great advice to run "through" the first half of the run after the bike. Brick sessions have helped but getting over the mental feeling of having put the wrong legs on really does get you through that first "rough" 1km off the bike.

Great tip for transition from bike to run to spin the legs out. Thanks!

Dylan Johnson did a great video on clipless vs. flat pedals on power transfer. Turns out science doesn’t support clipless as being more efficient.

Hey Jonty, I have done multiple Ironmans and don't do flipturns at all unless in a sprint race. I also use an ankle strap a lot in a short pool. I tie to the cleanouts and it works way better than you expect. I think it develops strength quicker because you have no momentum in the water.

Love these videos! I think I have literally watched every single video, so if this question is answered somewhere I have no idea how I missed it. But I just switched to a road bike and my wrists hurt a lot. Is this just something to get used to? Or are there exercises I can do to strengthen something somewhere? Am I doing something wrong? I know I just need to get comfortable on a new bike in general, but any advice would be greatly received. Thank you so much for all you guys do! #gtncoachescorner

Hi! Great video! Do you think you may be able to produce something on initiating running with kids? I have two girls, 11 and 12, and with school holidays coming, would love some tips on gradually introducing them to running with a view to maintaining when school stars again.

Ha ha ha I was so confused why you guys stress tumble turns so much: it makes so much more sense after learning you are training in 20m pools. We've got dive tanks in Canada that are 20m 😂🤣😂🤣, a lane pool is never less than 25m, even in the small towns (it might only have 4 lanes, but darn it they're 25m long)!

Hello GTN, First, thank you for your amazing content, keep it up and I hope we can see it with more languages one day (voice over or subtitles), I've few questions please 1- I've injury in my left knee, small degradation of joint cartilage in medial tibial condyle (front knee ligament), its been there for almost 18 months now, coming on and off with training, what I'm asking about, if I moved my cycling shoe cleats backwards (towards my heal), would this reduce load on front knee? or same from moving saddle little bet back? a complicated question :) I've place to manover and I can replace stem with shorter/ longer to accommodate saddle movement 2- I've very good VO2 Max on running and good stamina (I did half marathon in 1:36) but i can't translate same power or cardiovascular capacity in cycling (sure I did correct fitting and service of bike)? can you advise on this? 3- any advises for Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS or IT band syndrome)? certain strength or so? 4- any advises for neck pain due to aerobars? #GTNCoachesCorner #AskGTN

Question please: #gtncoachescorner Do you keep your normal run cadence when doing LSD? Or it should be lower?

@francoisrouviere 3 жыл бұрын

When training for a specific triathlon distance (ie 70.3) how long should the weekly long run be (ie 21KM + 10%) and should this be repeated every week? This question also applies to long bike rides (ie 90KM + 10%) and long swims (1.9KM + 10%). #gtncoachescorner

#gtncoachescorner I’m in my 2nd season of triathlon, and have been training and performing quite well. Although lately (last few weeks) it has been difficult to find the motivation to train, and I feel like I’ve just been “going through the motions” in most of my sessions. I am wondering what I can do to combat this feeling. If I were to take a week completely off, how much fitness would I lose? Thanks!

What's the best way to get faster in the water? I've made good progress but now I feel like I've plateaued.

@laurenc.7546 3 жыл бұрын

Hey GTN, I’m training for my first sprint triathlon and in my training, the hardest part for me is running. The difficulty lies in having the motivation to keep running during my runs and not just quit. How do you keep the motivation up? Music? And how do you keep the motivation up during the race without headphones and music? #gtncoachescorner

@rainbowmonkMC 3 жыл бұрын

as a runner, i feel this while swimming haha -- for running, my advice is (a) focus on breathing (so no music) ; (b) have someone run with you or bike as you run. we call it EOD, easy over distance, so trying to talk a little when running will help you slow down and keep it up

#gtncoachescorner This summer I am swimming at the beach a lot.l, which is being surprisingly more difficult than the swimming at the pool, due to waves and turbulent water. Do you think fins and paddles can be of use in feeling less helpless against the ocean?

@rubencarvalho5397 3 жыл бұрын

Hi GTN #gtncoachescorner, I'm followed by a tri coach and I used to do triathlons back in 2008-2012, since then I stopped any training and added lots of Kilos on top, I've started running and swimming again this year and I've had done lactate threshold testing, pacing tests and VO2Max tests. Regarding the HR training I'm fully able to do it all, but once I change the training into pacing (the pacing that is measured during lactate or VO2Max tests) I'm just not able to complete a training main set, and I feel like the pacing is difficult to cope, any advice on this?

#gtncoachescorner I currently run 3 times a week with a speed session on Tuesday, tempo session on Thursday and a Sunday long run. I want to add in an extra run or two a week but I’m unsure how to do so without increasing distance too quickly and possibly get injured. What sessions would you recommend and how would I go about adding them in? Thanks ! :)

@rainbowmonkMC 3 жыл бұрын

id recommend doing a little less on the tempo and long run day and add one day where you run 5-10km fairly easy after the bike. key to get a run in once a week or once every two weeks off the bike to prep your legs for it

Hi guys, I’m about to start training for my first Ironman 70.3 but I will only be able to train 3-4 days a week from your experience do you think that will be enough training ? My goal is to finish and some what enjoy myself. I keep pretty fit and come from a running background. #gtncoachescorner
