80/20 Triathlon: Get Faster By Training Slower with David Warden | EP#121

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.
