  • Tim gives good honest opionions

    I found this podcast a few weeks ago and have been binge watching ever since. Short sharp answers to real questions and doesn’t get bogged down in too much detail. I love that Tim gives his honest view and isn’t afraid to go against mainstream opinion

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#875 Ironman training with only 10 hours per week
Q: I've got 10 hours per week to train for an Ironman. Where should I spend those hours to get the biggest return?
Start by mapping your weekly hours on a blank skeleton week, then decide which workouts (swim, bike, run, gym) to prioritize and how to structure long efforts, with bike volume generally providing the greatest impact. Align expectations with the limited hours and gradually build toward race-specific sessions, using bricks and longer rides when possible.
#872 The Truth About Pre-Workout for Triathletes
Q: What are your thoughts on taking pre-workout?
The host shares caution about the high caffeine content (around 300 mg in some pre-workouts), notes personal experiments and discussions with athletes, and ultimately advises wary consideration of overall caffeine intake and potential alternatives like simple sugars and water.
#870 Run Power Meter
Q: How do you decide when to rely on power versus other metrics like heart rate or perceived effort?
I tailor it to each athlete: for some, full reliance on power is effective, especially in controlled intervals; for others, I blend power with perceived effort and HR, particularly during longer or more technical sessions.
#871 Increasing bike power while aero
Q: Should I focus on increasing my FTP or maybe do a block of VO2 to increase my ceiling?
The coach argues your FTP and VO2 are not the primary limits here; the main limiter is neuromuscular efficiency in the aero position. The plan is to lift the power ceiling by targeted cadence-lower-than-normal endurance blocks plus alternating intervals that simulate aero-cycling, while maintaining good endurance riding to support Ironman pacing.
#3 The Coaching Business
Q: Do you think the coach has the responsibility to motivate, or should that be the athlete's space?
Tim believes that athletes should have intrinsic motivation tied to personal goals rather than relying on external motivation from coaches.
