My method
Diversify the workout
Triathlon is a combination of different type of workouts during the week with a different range of volumes and intensities, in the right proportion to be balanced with a full-time job and a family routine.
80/20 approach
For my experience, the best results are achieved when low intensity accounts approx. 80 percent of the total training time and moderate and high intensity together account for the remaining 20 percent. This I’ve found to be the best but has to be specifically tailored putting into account the personal daily life stresses, which differs from one to another.
Endurance sports focused
Another key factor of low intensity is that it’s boosting our ability to use fat as fuel, giving athletes a bigger fuel tank to draw upon during races, going faster and farther without hitting the wall. This is very important in longer triathlons, and low intensity workouts do the best to empower this capacity.
