You'll be astonished at just how fast Olav Aleksander Bu believes Kristian Blummenfelt can go and you'll have your mind expanded around what is possible when it comes to the science and application of that science into training, development and performance of athletes.

Interview with David Warden (Pacing): Bill, when you think about pacing what is the first thought that pops into your mind? Do you imagine yourself racing or training? Is it a swim, bike or run? What distance? How do you vary your pacing throughout a race? How does that vary based on the type or distance? Do you use a device to check your pacing or rely on RPE?

I was surprised when we got to the 4 month mark, let alone the 4 year anniversary. Endurance News: Coronavirus To date, over 97,850 infections have been confirmed worldwide, and more than 3,300 people have been killed by the virus.   By comparison, CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations and 18,000 deaths from flu. Just doing a little back of the envelope math and you get a mortality rate of 3.4% vs 0.1%. How will this impact the Olympics? International travel? Will porta-lets at races have less toilet paper than they did last season?   Corona Virus Flu Virus Confirmed Cases                  97,850            32,000,000 Deaths                      3,300                  18,000 Mortality Rate 3.4% 0.1% https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/summary.html https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/coronavirus-latest-as-infections-near-100000-who-says-this-is-not-a-drill/ar-BB10OLxY?ocid=spartandhp   IRONMAN New Zealand is this March 7th We normally don't cover races on the other side of the planet, but I have a really good friend that's racing. Aaron Monroe and I have been racing together for years and he is there with his family to do the race and then go to the wedding. Guess what Aaron Monroe's bib number is? Professional Start List What's New in the 303: BASE Camp, The Inside Scoop This past week, in surprisingly chilly, Orlando Florida, about a 120 teammates came to swim, bike, run, and have fun for four days. Athletes varied greatly in ability but it’s safe to say that the slowest, least skilled or in-experienced athlete felt every bit a part of this group as the fastest, most seasoned veterans. Here’s why. For this “family” it’s about the start line and how they get to the finish—not how fast they get there. USA Triathlon Collegiate Club and High School National Championships in 2020 USA Triathlon is excited to be in Tempe, Arizona for the Collegiate Club and High School National Championships in 2020 for a second consecutive year. High School Nationals (non-drafting) and the Collegiate Club Draft-Legal Championships will occur on Friday, April 3. The Collegiate Olympic-Distance and Mixed-Team Relay races will occur on Saturday, April 4. Video of the Week: I want to share tips on how I use UCAN. Bill, last week you asked what the UCAN differentiator was. I provided a brief explanation that it's a starch instead of a sugar. This translates to a steady release of energy instead of sugar spikes and crashes. It not only performs differently, it also mixes and drinks differently. I thought I'd share how I use the mixer bottle and how to fill water bottles without the mess. Upcoming Interviews: Ellen Kindelsperger from the Chirolab. She believes optimal health is reached by treating the body as a whole rather than the summation of its parts.

This is going to be a hell of a documentary of the first ever, World Record breaking Ironman triathlon in Antarctica just about 10 days ago. He did it to show that limitations are perceptions.

Since its origin in 2011, The Preseason Project has been a powerful triathlon training research environment and a catalyst for continuous improvement and innovation. The participating athletes themselves have made this possible. Training data and direct feedback from more than 15,000 triathletes has driven significant measurable improvements over industry norms in training efficiency, race results, and overall athlete experience. This has fundamentally changed how athletes train and how coaches coach. Today we look back on the history of the Preseason Project and the milestone findings, results, and events that have defined its continuing influence on triathlon industry.

Our interview this week is with Coach Jim Vance, author of Triathlete Science, Triathlon 2.0 and Running with Power.  He coaches athletes such as Ben Kanute with great success.  He is joining us today to talk about how and why he is using Today'sPlan software to quickly analyze athlete performance and how their training is going.

Jim Vance Debrief: One of the Today'sPlan features that Jim Vance described are the RPE of the workout and Subjective Wellness ratings the athlete can provide on a daily basis.  As a coach we can look at all the power files, paces and heart rate levels in a workout and not have insight into how the athlete experienced their workout, their day, and what might be going on that contributed to the power, heart rate and pace.  At a glance, looking at the workout in the calendar I can see the RPE.   With one click, I can see the Session Rating recorded by the athlete, the duration rating by the athlete and the intensity.  This is a great way for a coach to know the athletes perception and perspective of the session objective, duration and intensity as it relates to the athlete's goals.  If there's a mis-communication about how the sessions are designed to help the athlete achieve their goals, this is a great way to make that mis-communication visible and get the conversation started if it hasn't happened already.   The other insights that can be collected are wellness attributes that can be customized by the coach in terms of what the athlete sees and responds to.  The athlete can complete include: Diet Mood Stress Muscle soreness Sleep quality Fatigue (waking) Fatigue (before) Fatigue (activity) Satisfaction Performance The coach can also select to make the wellness ratings on the day in the calendar view.  With that feature enabled to be visible, a small yellow star appears and by simply hovering over the star, the coach can see the athlete's perspective on all of those attributes on a daily basis. When I have my weekly Skype call with my athletes, I ask them about subjective wellness items including stress, fatigue, injury or niggles.  I ask how the workouts are going from their perspective, do they make sense given the goals, etc.  But just like Jim Vance pointed out, athletes tend to forget what they felt like 6 days prior.  Having it recorded daily gives the athlete and the coach data, recorded on the day, of the athlete's subjective sense of what they are experiencing. http://303triathlon.com/kona-must-dos-by-khem/ Video of the week: Family affair at Ironman Augusta 70.3 Double win In the News is sponsored by Rudy Project.  Rudy Project has the helmets, glasses and gear to help you ride safe and look great.  Use code MHE30 to get 30% off your full price items.

Jim Vance is an elite triathlon coach who has co-authored “Triathlon Science”. He is a two time Amateur World Champion in ITU and Xterra and holds an IronMan PR of 8:37:09. I brought Jim onto our podcast because he has been at the forefront in research of Power Running.  Many believe that when power can be effectively measured in running, as has been cone in cycling, it will be a major game changer.  In sports science thus far; heart rate is the most effective metric used to identify work relative to performance.  This is an interesting time in endurance sport technology and our goal is to share some insight as to the potential of power as it applies to running performance. “All records, from 100 meters to the Marathon will drop, when we are able to effectively measure power in training”.

Tri Talk and Human Kinetics present the audio presentation of Chapter 17 from the definitive triathlon training guide, Triathlon Science. Flexibility and performance are strange bedfellows. Read by the co-author, David Warden.
