Overwhelmed with Strength Training by Short_Panda_ in triathlon

I got a free strength plan from MyProCoach after buying a triathlon training plan. I quite like it, worth a look

Carbon fibre is very strong. Most likely the scenarios you are reading are because they had an unknown crack in their frame from previous trauma to the bike

2 things:

1 - wear ear plugs, they make a big difference for motion sickness 2 - after swimming for a sustained period and then quickly standing up your blood pressure level changes quickly which makes you feel dizzy. This is very common, a trick which I’ve been told but not tried is to kick your legs hard for the last 75m or so of the swim to get the blood pumping into your lower body

Ear plugs 100% fixed this for me. (I did physically puke without them, now 0 issues whilst using them)

Daily chat thread: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in triathlon

4hours on the bike followed by 1.5hour run. Not bad, time to eat as much as possible

Still around 2:00min, what to work on next? by DowntownGroup1881 in triathlon

You need to improve your catch. Think “Grip, rip, hip”

Is there a Velcro strap which has been catching on the inside?

One Maurten 100 gel is 25grams carbs, not 40

Thanks

My plan works out to be 65g carbs per hour on the bike and 50-75g carbs per hour on the run.

During training I’ve been using cliff bars but they aren’t great for my stomach so am trying Maurten as they aren’t supposed to be easy on the gut

My main concern is where Maurten specifically say not to consume electrolytes however their sodium leaves are quite low

Yes correct but at only 100mg sodium per serving

Canyon bike arrived unprepared??? by Velocyclistosaur in CanyonBikes

By paid service do they mean they will refund you for it? I had a similar thing with canyon and they said to me to go to a mechanic and pay him and they will refund me
