Q&A #67 - Back-to-back workouts; Rest days, workout frequency, and dosage; 70.3 race fueling; Fasted workouts vs. fueled workouts
- What are the benefits and drawbacks of doing workouts back-to-back compared to e.g. doing one workout in the morning and one at lunch?
- Is it better to spread out the same number of total workouts over more days (and fewer rest days) or less days (and more rest days)?
- Considerations for 70.3 race nutrition planning and training
- When is it ok to do fasted workouts and when should you do them well-fueled with good carbohydrate availability?
