Thanks for the feedback, Coach. RE my bike mistake: I chose to switch from a TT bike to an aero road bike for a numbers of reasons, but I did not get fit on it, and I did not get fit again to switch it to a tri-specific setup. I had ridden on the new bike for about half the training period, so I knew the feel of the bike well. The bike is great,…[Read more]

This was my first triathlon using a coached plan, and I could see the benefits even though I wasn’t thrilled with my time. I missed my goal time by 10 minutes or so which was a bummer. Nonetheless, I was calmer than in any previous race, I crushed the swim, I had a good run, and I felt great on Monday–all great things. Unfortunately, the bike is…[Read more]

1.) The swim workout yesterday had sets of 4x50s as ‘quick,’ and…[Read more]

Hi Forum,
I looked through the guide and the workouts, but I didn’t see the answer. Sorry if I missed it. I haven’t done a lot of hill repeat workouts, so when I see “short” or “medium” I don’t have a sense of what that means. Can anyone clarify? I did the first workout the other day, and my 5x hills took about 30 seconds and since the hill was…[Read more]
