Reto Brändli is a Swiss triathlon and cycling coach working with professional (including e.g. Imogen Simmonds) and amateur athletes. He also runs a performance lab, so is very well versed in all sorts of testing, including classic gas exchange and lactate tests, DXA body composition measurements and more.

-Reto's perspectives on training and coaching for professional and amateur athletes, respectively

-How time-crunched amateurs should prepare for longer races like half and full distance triathlons

-Main principles and specific tips for swim, bike and run development

-What kind of lab testing to do (in an ideal world), how to apply the results in your training, and mistakes to avoid when it comes to lab testing
