  • 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.

We Are Nowhere Near Peak Aero | Marc Graveline, Aerodynamics Consultant
Q: What is your recommended testing protocol for a beginner triathlete with limited access to aero testers?
Start with road-based testing using ABBA or out-and-back runs, build a baseline, then test a small number of configurations (e.g., helmet, position) with multiple repeats. Use virtual elevation as a diagnostic tool and gradually introduce an aero device. Prioritize comfort and ecological validity before moving to more controlled environments like tunnels.
The 10% Rule Applies to Your Long Run, Not Your Week | Research Roundup
Q: What practical takeaway should a coach apply from the second study on supersets vs traditional sets?
Coaches can implement supersets for key exercises to cut training time by roughly a quarter while preserving strength and hypertrophy gains, allowing more room for other training or recovery, especially beneficial for athletes with time constraints.
The 10% Rule Applies to Your Long Run, Not Your Week | Research Roundup
Q: If you had to choose one approach, would you increase an athlete's long run by 15-20% while keeping weekly volume within 5% of the prior week, or would you increase weekly volume by 15-20% while keeping the long run similar to the longest prior run?
The hosts acknowledge that both approaches have tradeoffs, but they would likely opt to keep the long run progression more controlled and within about 10-20% of the longest recent run, while maintaining overall weekly load carefully to minimize injury risk, emphasizing gradual progression over abrupt jumps.
Is optimised workout design pointless (and time in zone what really matters)? | Q&A
Q: What advice for Daniel about cramping and 70.3 race strategy on a hilly course?
Cramping is usually fatigue- and hydration-related. The guests suggest evaluating electrolyte and fluid intake, race-day pacing, and ensuring training includes race-pace climbs that mimic course elevations. They emphasize simulating the race on indoor trainers like Rouvy, adjusting fueling, and planning for longer climbs with appropriate gearing and cadence to manage torque and muscular demands.
Is optimised workout design pointless (and time in zone what really matters)? | Q&A
Q: Is time in zone all that matters for an effective workout, and does the way we achieve it matter?
Effort and physiology matter as much as time in zone. If you can achieve the same stimulus with shorter, higher-intensity reps or longer continuous sets, the session may have different physiological effects (VO2, lactate, fast-twitch fiber recruitment). The hosts emphasize effort-matching and staying away from maximal efforts (avoid 10/10) to keep sessions sustainable and repeatable, while also considering race goals and the specific adaptations sought.
