Q&A #45 - Intensity unnecessary (?) for Ironman, warm-ups, lactate test timing, and adjusting a training week
  • Is it really necessary to do any intensive training when preparing for an Ironman? Can you just do base miles? 
  • When is the best time to get a lactate test? 
  • How should you time your warm-up for an Olympic race, considering wave starts, transition area closing and so on? 
  • How do you adjust a training week if you are prevented from doing one discipline (e.g. swimming) but could supplement with another (or two)?
  • The impact of heat on carb/fat oxidation ratios (a correction to Q&A #44)

Q&A #44 - Carb/fat combustion based on pace and heart rate; VO2max intervals on flats or uphill
  • If heart rate was in zone 4 and pace in zone 2: did you use mostly carbs or fats for fuel? 
  • Can you do track/road intervals on hilly trails, and if so, should they still keep the same structure or can they be free form? 
  • Should mobility work count towards your total training duration?

Shannon Grady is the founder of GO! Athletics and an expert in the application of bioenergetics, lactate dynamics, and applied physiology for endurance performance optimization. Shannon has worked with over 9000 athletes including Olympic, professional, collegiate, and high school athletes in over 25 sports, and is herself a former professional runner, NCAA All-American, and five-time Team USA Triathlon with 4 Top-10 ITU World Championship finishes.

 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

  • The science of bioenergetics and lactate dynamics and how they relate to endurance performance and training
  • The fallacy of traditional lactate testing
  • A systems based training approach based on the individuals range of lactate concentration
  • How many endurance athletes lack at least one system and are therefore bioenergetically limited and therefore compromising their endurance perfomance
  • Training mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations
  • Nutrition mistakes that lead to bioenergetic deficits and suboptimal performance and training adaptations

Q&A #42 - Increasing swimming stroke rate, heart rate response to different bike intervals, and becoming less reliant on your kick when swimming 
  • How to increase your swimming stroke rate effectively. 
  • Why doesn't heart rate rise as much in very short and hard intervals as in longer and slightly less intense intervals?
  • How can you transition to becoming less reliant on your kick in swimming - particularly in the open water in a wetsuit
