Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#884 Weight Loss while training for a 70.3

Q: Ideally, I would like to be 5 kilos lighter before my 70.3 in a few months. What's the best approach to lose weight without compromising training quality?

Focus on a structured plan that prioritizes protein (around two grams per kilogram of body weight), distributes carbohydrates around training, uses gradual caloric reduction (with maintenance weeks to prevent performance drops), and relies on practical tracking rather than extreme dieting. Maintain strength training to preserve muscle mass, and consider cycling dieting periods with short maintenance phases to stay buoyant in training.

#891 A year of Ironman Training

Q: How often would you swim, bike, and run each week, and how long should the long sessions be?

The weekly mix should push towards three swims, four to five bike rides, and four to five runs, with long bike and long run sessions gradually building toward ample aerobic volume while keeping fatigue manageable; long runs should peak around 20-22 miles, and long rides around six hours when aiming for a steady, aero-focused build.

#890 Zone Three Training

Q: Today's question is: do you see value in long Zone Three rides (three to four hours) over LT1 for Ironman and 70.3 training after the foundation work?

Yes, there is clear value for testing nutrition, thermal regulation, and data like power and heart-rate drift, but athletes must be prepared for the mental taxing nature of such sessions, and they should be spaced out with proper recovery and race-timing in mind; use them to gather actionable feedback and avoid overdoing them as race-day performance could be affected.

#877 Programing around shift roster

Q: I just finished the Firefighters, the Firefighting Academy, and I am now working as a full-time firefighter. My schedule is 48 hours on, 96 hours off. How would you structure my training schedule around work?

Treat the four days off as a recovery-focused window and build six-day cycles if needed, with two days at work containing a structured gym session and easy running, then use the four days off for three sessions on the second day, two of which are key or threshold workouts, followed by easier volume on day three and two to three more sessions on day four, balancing recovery and race goals while monitoring how well you absorb training.

#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.
