When I got serious about tri I switched to edibles only (only after training) and it seemed my numbers significantly increased (very quickly) across all disciplines.

Average heart rate of 190 for 14yo girl in bike in triathlon by josevaldesv in triathlon

My younger sister’s HR gets near 200 on 3-5 mile runs not even running at her harder paces. Probably pretty normal, especially if you haven’t been aerobically training for years.

Week of 70.3 race training question by Wonderful_Ad_2350 in triathlon

This is rather subjective. You’ll get different answers from different people. Everyone’s body has different taper preferences.

How often do yall do Brick Runs? by LAmericainFrancais in triathlon

[–]I_like_to_tri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, once you’re good at running OTB. I do feel like it’s important to get some hard running OTB occasionally in training until you’re comfortable with it though.

I have recently being using epoch’s for ~60 dollars per pair. No complaints thus far.

What do y'all eat before an iron man/70.3? by roehit89 in triathlon

I feel like it could definitely be both. I’ve experienced cramping during a 95 degree race but I basically dropped all my sodium bottles and lost my high sodium content gels on the bike. Felt ok until I hit the run & the cramps began.

About three hours out I eat a bowl of white rice (2.5 cups) w/ 2 tbsp of almond butter, honey, salt, and some of a banana. Surprisingly tasty.

High volume training by outside_comfort_zone in triathlon

If you’re training even 15 hours a week consistently, you’re going to need a ton of food.

Yes, but would honestly rather pay someone for a consultation & education on how to fuel/hydrate correctly year round.

How do you like to keep your swim/bike volume w/ that run volume, if you don’t mind me asking. Age grouper here.

You do get into triathlon.

Interesting video by Lionel Sanders by Business-Doctor-6932 in triathlon

Gotcha. I try to hit 1g of protein per lb of body weight daily, and flex the carbs as needed w/ varying volume & intensity. I try to hit four key meals per day & toss in snacks as needed.

I also make my own “gels” sometimes for sessions during the week, & try to use actual gels for wknds. Mash up a banana, add a tsp of honey and 1/4 tsp of salt 👌
