  • Most informative triathlon podcast by a mile

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Essential Guide to Sprint and Olympic Distance Triathlon Training
Q: For average age groupers, do you suggest training differently for sprint versus Olympic?
The general distinction is a bit more intensity focus and slightly lower total volume for sprint; Olympic distance requires a bit more aerobic foundation and longer sets, but in practice they are quite similar, with sprint leaning toward shorter, sharper efforts and Olympic toward slightly longer, steadier efforts.
Lifetime Training Hours and Long-Term Aerobic Development: How to Achieve Your Full Potential in Triathlon | Carson Christen
Q: How many lifetime hours of aerobic or endurance training would you say is needed to reach near your genetic potential?
The guests discuss a rough figure around 8,000 to 10,000 hours for substantial genetic potential, with an emphasis that individual differences, training quality, and later-life changes in physiology affect the exact number.
Triathlon Training for Masters Athletes - Maximise Performance in Your 50s and Beyond
Q: How many intense training sessions per week do you recommend for older athletes?
Around 2-3 intense sessions per week is a reasonable upper bound for most 50+ athletes, with potential to do 3-4 in some cases but at the cost of quality and recovery.
Triathlon Training for Masters Athletes - Maximise Performance in Your 50s and Beyond
Q: Do older athletes need to have a more consistent training load versus a more periodized load?
Consistency is generally more important for older athletes because recovery and re-building fitness after interruptions is slower; maintain a steady load with smart sequencing.
Triathlon Training for Masters Athletes - Maximise Performance in Your 50s and Beyond
Q: Avoiding overtraining slash burnout seems much more difficult now in my late 40s. Any advice?
Space out intensive sessions, keep volume manageable, and stay in aerobic zones with strict recovery between hard workouts to prevent burnout.
