Q&A #114 - Using kilojoules to monitor training load; Big rides for Ironman; Should your training be as hard as your race

• How work (kilojoules) done can be used to effectively monitor training load at a micro- and mesocycle level, and even within workouts
• When should you do your key Ironman rides and what should they look like?
• Should your training meet or even exceed the demands of your goal race, or should even the hardest workouts slightly undershoot what you'll need to do on race day?
