The Ultimate Guide to Triathlon Testing: Essential Advice for Age-Group Triathletes | Ep 463
Manage episode 383880145 series 1007898
In this week's episode, Coach Rob provides an invaluable step-by-step walkthrough of how, why and when to test your bike power, swim speed and run fitness throughout the year.
👉 Why accuracy in testing & results is the ONLY important consideration
👉 Why making excuses for your test results and assuming you "are capable of more" is a sure-fire way to limit your potential progress
👉 How to use test results to determine optimal training intensity and avoid overtraining, injury & junk miles
👉 Why the FTP test should be completed in the position you're going to train and race in
👉 The importance of recognising the risk factors and exponential cost of training above 100% of FTP
👉 The CSS testing protocol for swimming, what the results mean and how to use them
👉 Why sub-maximal run tests provide the best of both worlds - clear progression of run fitness, without the risk of injury
👉 Why running a short, fast race (5km, 10km) may feel good but is at best irrelevant, at worst very risky for middle and long distance triathlon training
👉 The optimal frequency for repeating your testing protocols
