Andrew Sheaff

Andrew Sheaff is a swimming coach with 15 years of experience in coaching at the collegiate level in the United States. In order to improve the skill acquisition of his athletes and overcome some of the challenges of traditional coaching methods he has implemented a constraints-led approach to motor learning in his coaching practice. We discuss this topic in detail in today's interview.              IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is a constraints-led approach (CLA) to learning and how is it different from a traditional approach?  -Task, individual and environmental constraints and how to use them -How the roles and responsibilities of coaches and swimmers change when going from a traditional to a constraints-led approach -Using a CLA in swim coaching to improve skills and fitness simultaneously -How the implementation of CLA changes based on athletes' ages, ability levels, swimmers vs. triathletes, etc.  -Challenges of using the CLA in swim coaching -How an individual (e.g. podcast listener) can implement the CLA themselves to improve their swimming skills   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts402/   SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/   SPONSORS: FORM Smart Swim Goggles give you unprecedented real-time feedback in your swim training through a display on the goggle lens. See every split to stay on pace, track your stroke rate and don't let it drop, use heart rate to become more scientific and precise with your training (through integration with Polar HR monitors) and analyse more in-depth metrics post-swim in the app. You can also use a vast library of workouts or training plans, or build your own guided workouts.

Bernardo Gonçalves is an expert in aerodynamics and aerodynamic testing and optimisation, the founder of AeroEdge, and a pro continental cyclist. He is the person who has earned the trust to work directly with Scientific Triathlon pro triathletes on their aerodynamics. In this episode we discuss all things aerodynamics, and how triathletes of many different levels can improve their bike splits through aerodynamic optimisation.            IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Quantifying and exemplifying the importance of aerodynamics -Why body position is by far the most important thing to optimise -Position changes that are often beneficial  -Why more expensive bikes might not be any better than cheaper ones -A case for shorter cranks -Why track and road testing are the best ways of assessing aerodynamics for long distance triathletes (better than the wind tunnel) -Common mistakes in aerodynamic testing -Why W/CdA is much more important than W/kg -How to interpret marketing claims made by the cycling industry -Myths and misconceptions about aerodynamics and aero testing   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts397/   SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON AND THAT TRIATHLON SHOW WEBPAGE: www.scientifictriathlon.com/podcast/   SPONSORS: Precision Fuel &amp; Hydration help athletes perform at their best through their online tools, patented Sweat Test and range of electrolytes and fueling products.

Beginner Tip 1 - Introduction

Dan Plews

 Dan Plews, PhD, is a world-leading researcher in the field of Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and an elite-level coach. Today, we discuss how you can use HRV as a tool in your triathlon training to find the right balance between rest and stress, to help push your rate of improvement in the sport and give you an extra edge.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -How HRV can help you decide when to do high-intensity workouts and when to hold back, and why that may be better than sticking to a rigid program -How to use your HRV baseline as a tool to help determine if your training load in a block of training is appropriate, too large, or too small -The tools, apps, and resources that the Plews recommends using to get going with HRV.  LISTENER QUESTIONS: If you have questions that you want me to answer on the show or off the show (in an email), send me your question via email or Twitter (contact information below).

Training Zones part 2: Cycling | EP#29

Stephen Seiler

Stephen Seiler, PhD, is known for his research on how elite endurance athletes actually train. In this research, he discovered that most endurance athletes spend the majority of their training time (~90%) at very low intensities (below the first lactate/ventilatory threshold) with most of the remainder of the training time spent at high intensities (above the second lactate/ventilatory threshold), with little time spent in between. This training intensity distribution has become popularised and known as 'polarised training'.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is polarised training, and what is the evidence behind it? -Polarised training and "pyramidal training" - the nuances of training for different kinds of endurance sports and events -Does polarised training work for time-limited age group triathletes? -How to set up your training zones and intensities correctly (and the dangers of short-cutting FTP-tests) -Triathlon-specific considerations with polarised training   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts177/   THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com   SPONSORS:  Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

Polarised training with Stephen Seiler, PhD | EP#177

Sebastian Weber

Sebastian Weber is a sports scientist and highly successful coach, in both professional sports (having worked with athletes like Peter Sagan, Tony Martin, and André Greipek) and with age-group endurance athletes. He is also the co-founder of the physiological performance software INSCYD. One of the important factors for his success is his knowledge about exercise physiology and metabolism. Today, he shares this knowledge with us so that you too can benefit from it and become a faster triathlete.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is FTP (Functional Threshold Power), why does it even exist, and how can you train to improve it? -The only two variables that can be changed to improve FTP: VO2max (Aerobic Capacity) and VLaMax (glycolytic capacity) -Why you need to focus on changing VO2max and/or VLaMax, and NOT FTP itself, if you want to improve your FTP. -How to train to increase VO2max to increase FTP -How to train to decrease VLaMax to increase FTP -How VO2max and VLaMax determine your fat and carb oxidation at any intensity (including submaximal intensities) -Nutritional aspects of changing FTP through changing VO2max and/or VLaMax   SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts169/   THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com   SPONSORS:  Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

FTP, VO2max and VLaMax: what triathletes need to know with Sebastian Weber | EP#169

David Warden

Multiple studies reveal runners, triathletes, and other endurance athletes improve the most when they consistently do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the other 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. David Warden, co-author of 80/20 Triathlon explains why and how you will become faster if you start doing more slow training.       IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -What is the 80/20 intensity distribution in practice -What is the science behind 80/20 intensity distributions -How most age-groupers fall way short of doing 80% of their training at an easy intensity: most do only 50%, if that.  -Does 80/20 still apply if your total training volume is low? -Practical advice for getting started with 80/20 training.    SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts121/      THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com      SPONSORS:  Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.
