  • Most informative triathlon podcast by a mile

    As per title. I listen to all the major triathlon podcasts and while the others are very entertaining and interesting, TTS is the definitive podcast for training and racing information.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is VO2max more important than lactate threshold? | Research roundup
Q: What does the data suggest about VO2 max versus lactate threshold for endurance performance across levels?
VO2 max remains a key differentiator between groups, and lactate threshold as a percentage of VO2 max shows similar averages across groups; thus, VO2 max and economy, along with neuromuscular factors, are important, and lactate threshold alone may not determine performance across diverse athlete levels.
Is VO2max more important than lactate threshold? | Research roundup
Q: How should athletes balance high-intensity and low-intensity work based on these findings?
High-intensity work yields faster early gains, but because the body can compensate with higher volumes of low-intensity work, a periodized approach that prioritizes high intensity in specific windows and uses substantial low-intensity volume overall is advisable, especially for long-term progression.
Is VO2max more important than lactate threshold? | Research roundup
Q: What are your initial takeaways from the study about reproducibility of training responses?
The main takeaway is that while groups improve similarly, the extent and pattern of individual responses are not reliably reproducible, implying that predicting an athlete's response to the same program is limited and must be considered in group-level planning.
Effective training on 7 hours per week, using running power to test and compare shoes, and Ironman training for fast-twitch dominant athletes | Q&A
Q: How should a high-VLaMax, fast-switch athlete train to improve sustained endurance toward Ironman without overdoing intensity?
Increase low-intensity volume with easy endurance work, incorporate occasional VO2max maintenance sessions, use longer VO2max intervals when needed, and ensure much of endurance work stays in zone1, with careful tuning of intensity and recovery—plus longer and more aggressive tapering before races.
Effective training on 7 hours per week, using running power to test and compare shoes, and Ironman training for fast-twitch dominant athletes | Q&A
Q: What are your thoughts on testing running power meters for running economy and how reliable are they compared to heart rate-based testing?
Running power meters are estimators and can misinterpret improvements due to shoe energy return rather than true metabolic changes; heart rate testing is more reliable for detecting small changes in running economy, especially in well-trained athletes where HR remains stable.
