  • 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.

Cycling Training for the WorldTour and for Age-Group Triathletes | Jacob Tipper (coach of Ben Healy and Lucy Byram)
Q: So, I suppose the way it works, I best describe people that maybe aren't super familiar with cycling and how the week and the calendar works and how the demands of cycling influence training and racing, can you share how Ben's program is shaped by team commitments and race schedules?
The calendar is driven by World Tour requirements, with limited ability to peak at will. They balance timely stimulus from races with not overloading the athlete, using races to provide adaptation while protecting the ability to perform well at key events. Regular communication with leadership and tactical planning also helps optimize when to push for breaks, how to conserve energy, and which races to target for peak performance.
Evidence-based Training for Cycling and Triathlon Performance | Sebastian Sitko
Q: What are the top three sport-science findings that have influenced your coaching the most?
Three categories: retrospective longitudinal studies of top performers to understand patterns, head-to-head comparisons of interventions for short-term effects, and the value of publishing negative or null results to avoid chasing ineffective approaches.
Physiological Profiling Explained - Why, How, and Important Training Implications for Triathletes
Q: What are the practical changes you make based on a fast-switch vs slow-switch profile?
Adjust training block length and emphasis (more VO2 max work for slow-switch; more focus on sustaining long aerobic work with careful intensity control for fast-switch), modify work-to-rest ratios, and apply heart-rate caps to maintain quality sessions.
Physiological Profiling Explained - Why, How, and Important Training Implications for Triathletes
Q: How do you start profiling an athlete?
Start with training history and race data, then analyze performance across different durations to form an initial power/speed duration curve, followed by Critical Power testing across multiple days to quantify W', CP, and endurance capacity.
Physiological Profiling Explained - Why, How, and Important Training Implications for Triathletes
Q: What is your physiological profile and how does it influence training decisions?
The profile is seen through the lens of power-duration and speed-duration curves, indicating fast- vs slow-twitch dominance, and guiding how much glycolytic or top-end work to include, how to set training zones, and how to pace endurance sessions relative to LT1 and LT2.
