FULL WEEK OF HALF IRONMAN TRAINING: triathlon workouts with a top age-group triathlete

Welcome back to winter training - Ep. 2. Off-season is officially over, and Miguel’s abs are back in full-force. November and December is all about base-building and meaningful practice, so follow a perfect week of training with Miguel as he works to ramp up his run fitness + speed to become a professional triathlete. Despite some cold mornings in Northern California, we’re lucky enough to be able to swim, bike, and run outdoors all year long. It’s a week of beautiful Mt. Tam views, coastline riding, and Karl the Fog making himself known. Our first race is coming up in four months-Ironman 70.3 Oceanside. Time’s a’ ticking!

We’re Jenna Haufler and Miguel Mattox-
With humble roots as college swimmers, we’ve worked hard to become two of the country’s leading age-group triathletes, and are now on a mission to become professional athletes while still having fun along the way. We swim-bike-run together, eat together, sleep together, and make videos together for our own (and hopefully your) enjoyment.
Throughout our documented journey, watch how a couple of ambitious 20-something-year-olds work towards their life goals in a disciplined yet untraditional, not-so-serious manner.
We live for adventure and hope to inspire our viewers and subscribers to seek out the same.

Totaly speechless! I love all the pro vlogs in Triathlon, but this Video was poor Gold for me. Video editing, music, atmosphere. Just stunning 🥰 i hope you can keep up this Great work. Thanks for it!!

[@nathanmclain9027]

At last, another PB and Banana sandwich lover. Not alone in the world anymore!

[@robstriathlontipsforbeginners]

Much better than the gross PB, onion, and ketchup sandwich my dad used to make. 🤮

[@MyEmpireIsTheWorld]

Gotta toast the bread too 😋

[@johnwielandii7723]

PB and banana is my go to protein shake, but do enjoy the sandwich on occasion.

[@myaa22]

Add honey and we can be best friends

[@oj978]

I can't get over how fast you guys are in the pool. But I finally have a bike now so I've signed up for some aquabike races next year. Looking forward to it!

[@HollyDunnDesign]

Another brilliant video! I love seeing your training plans over a week like this.

[@MistiMist]

I'm new to the sport and I'm looking for a good coach. I been training on my own for several months now, I have multiple sclerosis and will need a good coach to train me! I'm living in Everett, WA. Near Seattle Do you have any suggestions?

[@FreestyleTri]

Check out our coaches at Working Triathlete. Amazing coaches and the best community in triathlon. They’re mostly based in Nashville, but that doesn’t stop the constant inclusivity and personalized coaching. Details are in this video’s description!

[@ElevationEveryWeekend]

Nice edit on this video!! Thinking of attempting my first triathlon in 2022, soaking it all in. Keep ‘em coming!

[@alexheatzig7731]

Best video yet - can definitely tell the increase in video quality and production quality!

[@ceolney]

Great vid nice calves!! Wow

[@shalajaska9716]

You guys really should make a gear video with everything you use from swimsuits to bikes and shoes

[@johnjoyce2508]

Are you gonna run"Pro" this year 2022?? Good luck either way I will be following. Would like to see you swim with Jan and the Norwegians also Lionel.

[@FreestyleTri]

Playing it all by ear. Itching to get out there with those guys!

[@samanthaswinton1904]

35?! Ya’ll crazier than us lake Washington people!

[@macserda2044]

two questions: first, what are the snot blows called, and second, does Jenna do them?

[@FreestyleTri]

1. snot rockets 2. more than Miguel

[@Kid_ofthefuture]

I love your videos, You guys are having fun doing 3Athlon, not just trying to create content for sponsors. Keep it up! There is lot’s of potential.

[@ZackMillerSays]

can't believe that tub of pb is done already! let the stirrrrrrrrin' begin.

[@capsularjerxis]

Love your videos so professional well edited and the music perfect

[@mlegrand]

The amount of editing skillzz it takes to make swimming all of those 500s look interesting is next level. 👏 Well done! #girlsLikeGuysWithSkills

[@sierrabergsgaard5314]

You cut out most of the meals! Guys, I need to see the fooooods!

[@kieranlindarstriathlon]

Awsome video! Love the how to run slow tip on a dark technical trail 😂

[@annarose1148]

i thought miguel was cody miller

[@troycollett8540]

You guys train on zwift at all?

[@FreestyleTri]

never been able to do it. It's the swimmer mentality where we've trained our minds to be ok staring at nothing for hours without end.

[@thepotatobug6783]

How do you know a bike fits you?

[@coltercornwell3938]

Cody miller makes swimming youtube videos and you guys could be long lost twins😂

[@FreestyleTri]

I swear it’s only the hair

[@Dannsandiego]

"Progressive, it's more positive." I'm hanging on to that one, Miguel!

[@FreestyleTri]

THANK YOU! why would anyone say "descend"?...sounds so negative

[@TheGlassArcades]

The work ethic here is incredible. 25 hour weeks in December is no joke. This is why you will go pro!! With that level of volume, how regularly are you taking easy/rest weeks? Seems like a tough workload to maintain over the course of a year.

[@FreestyleTri]

Hi Liz! You are spot on - totally not sustainable to do this volume + intensity every week. I usually build for 3 or 4 weeks, then have a transition week which is almost half this volume. That transition week is usually kicked off with a day off. For context, this week was the 3rd week in a 4 week build.

[@TheGlassArcades]

@@FreestyleTri That makes sense! I have trained at a similar cadence, but that last week can get brutal! I bet your TSS scores on training peaks are a sight. Good luck with the current block. Hope it goes well and you see the improvements in running you're looking for! Running has always been my weakest leg. Hopefully not forever!

[@cassieideran4881]

Found your channel recently and catching up! Sooo breakfast would you call it a panini?? Or I like the idea of a “toastwich”?! 🤣

[@BTguy]

So Miguel is nice and all…. But I watch this for Jenna and this video was seriously lacking in Jenna time. More Jenna please.

[@jonathangarth417]

I really like those running shorts. What brand are they? 19:53

[@FreestyleTri]

I believe they’re Lululemon 😊

[@poppymarianna8693]

Big question: is that pool in yards or meters?!?

[@FreestyleTri]

Yards!

[@aysasaga1]

Amazing training video! The landscape around your bike rides is awesome!

[@TriGator]

Good stuff y'all. Great videography . I know it takes significant time to edit and it is appreciated.

[@drainrzclan2199]

My friend swims for north bay aquatics

[@djstro21]

IS that Cameron Bartlett swimming with you????

[@FreestyleTri]

Who's Cameron Barlett????

[@djstro21]

@@FreestyleTri lol I guess not. Whoever you are swimming with at masters practice (2 min) has a SERIOUS doppelganger who is also a good swimmer. I was 1000% sure it was him

[@cristiansan]

which app are you using in your phone (min 6:27)? thanks

[@limaged]

25 Hours and an Age Grouper????? hahahahaha - Cheater *g*

[@FarisMlaeb]

Ops, when the water temp is about 25 I feel it cold hehehehehhe

[@hannahregan4920]

Amazing guys as always ! Love your videos

[@holdonL]

great video, thank you

[@laurenhelton2097]

You had me at Survivor!!!

[@greeneggsandham642]

Beautiful shots of Yosemite!

[@jacob.m]

Great video guys!

[@JPL-ld1ug]

Hey guys, huge fan from Brazil, love the videos! Could you explain how you estimate TSS for a swim?? Not a fan of swimming with a watch, and I noticed you guys don’t. Thank you so much!

[@FreestyleTri]

Great question. And agreed- hate swimming with a watch. All by perceived effort. 1-hour hard practices are usually around 75 (in my opinion)

[@drainrzclan2199]

I train at Tamalpais as well

[@katherinecovino7871]

The survivor audio lol

[@josesuero371]

love the long video !

[@kyleramsey1731]

Brother you’re an inspiration. Watching these videos always makes me want to go out and train!! #BUSINESS

[@FreestyleTri]

#BUSINESS is right

[@elliotpau1641]

Which platform are you using for log/calendar?

[@FreestyleTri]

we're coached by Working Triathlete (the best). they use Trainingpeaks to deliver schedules and allow us to log our workouts!

[@adamwitten9270]

LENS FLARE WIPE!

[@matiassmith3413]

Great video 👏

[@paulskyrunner1074]

Awesome 👍

[@vicentecoronelrojas5185]

What program are u using for the schedule?

[@FreestyleTri]

We're both coached by Working Triathlete, so everything comes from them. They use software called TrainingPeaks to deliver our workouts / allow us to log efforts and notes.

[@freestyletrainer]

Your running form reminds me of Jan Frodeno! Sometime I run like that, when thinking about his KZbin videos. Thank you for inspirational contents. Followed your chanel for a year but I'm just followed you guys on Strava. 😂 Can you make a video on all of your supplements (what you consume while swimming, ..), your swimming equipments (especialy the goggles) 🔔. What shoes for a specific training? Thank you 🙏
