Episode notes
Effective Base Training
- Structure base training to improve fitness and movement quality, not to peak performance.
- Include technical work and address weaknesses in swimming, biking, and running.
Base Training Specificity
- Reverse engineer training from your goal race, focusing on specific intensities closer to the race.
- For Ironman, emphasize non-Ironman intensities in base training.
Base Training for Beginners
- For beginners, prioritize consistency and easy workout intensity over specific periodization.
- Ensure weekly intensity in each discipline for optimal benefits.
