Sprint Triathlon Training Plan vs IRONMAN Triathlon Training Plan

[@lexington476]

Thanks for covering short course racers as well, not every triathlete wants or desires to do a half or a full... like me 😀😎😃.

Good video, and great point about how long it takes to build speed. I would take issue with a couple of things (like 80/20 being a good idea universally, meaning also in a 6 HR/week sprint training regime), but there are just so many useful bits of info here. Now, where's Grace? Her appearance boosts the number of impressions by up to 18%, according to U.S. scientists.

C’mon man! You are in or out

[@sjgbrighton]

Thank you Taren. I love how funny you are but also so knowledgeable. I am doing my 1st sprint Tri in 6 days. I am just recovering from runners knee too.

[@HansHess1018]

Taren, perfect timing. I am training for my first sprint race in June. I am looking forward to the training program. Thanks

Great stuff! Having seen you doing kettlebell swings I have the impression you are letting the kettlebell’s weight to close your chest (shoulders going forward). When you do the setup for the swing, just as for deadlift, you should retract your shoulders and then they should keep in this position during the whole swing. Injury risk apart, letting your shoulders go forward, following the kettlebell, you don’t recruit that many upper back muscles as you could with correct form. So less profit from the very same number of swings.

Hi from France I'm 100% into that 80/20 routine (the eponymous book is a good entry point in that training mindset). However, my clubmates hate me when I have them run for as long as 90-120 minutes in Z1/Z2😈 for example that's what we do when training for our 70.3s. Come spring and the first races, they realize that they can finally run... Once again I'm on the same page as you. One last thing: I want some snow too! Fed up with strong winds coming from the sea ( and from UK too😜)

[@braddenty503]

Feels great down here in Florida! Come visit

[@triathlonsteve9675]

Nice vid Taren, good basic advise for anyone building a training plan next year for short or long distance racing, weather in the U.K. is not that great at this time of year, but I do feel for you with all that snow and freezing temperatures, good job you have a cool paincave 😊

[@lexington476]

And i love that pool, that is a cool pool.

[@guillermogarcia1067]

Great information, thanks for taking the time to create these videos.

[@TeamFrancescoOfficial]

Yet another awesome video about programming, love these! Thanks for including stuff about sprint distance, that’s basically all I race and its great to get your take on it!

[@simonmills1225]

Great video. This sums up everything I've read in a nice coherent logical way that makes sense to the average age grouper with limited time. Thanks!

[@lexington476]

Yep, cold here in metro Detroit as well... But Winnipeg is crazy cold... But you do have an nice igloo inside there 😎.

[@justonemorehit]

11:32 I am a bit confused with your definition of zone 4. Isn't it that one can sustain for up to an hour at anaerobic/lactate threshold pace?

[@jasonkeith162]

Awesome content! Loving your channel.

[@IronWill]

Come on down to AU, it's great weather here, and getting into the tri season too :) I've gotten my short distance tri's done, now I'm aiming towards my full IM in May!

[@cadupradoo]

Thanks, Taren, for all of this. Just met your work when I'm slowly transitioning from running to triathlon. Your videos are awesome! One doubt. You say speed work is important for fat burning, but also that zone 2 is paramount for use of fat as fuel. With that in mind, would it be fair to say that for those that wanna lose fat the type of workout (zone 2 X speed/high intensity) is not actually relevant, since both promote it?

[@dickbuckner4355]

Yo Taren you the man homie!

[@gabofdz3596]

Great info 🔥👌😤

[@ashkabash14]

🙌🏽 thank you! Always such helpful information 🙂🙂.

[@Rajinbin]

I would rather be in that winter than the heat, which causes heat issues because I can always train inside.

[@rjzlwop3153]

Is there a heart rate monitor that is easy for somebody who is visually impaired to use?

[@jaybridges1843]

For the endurance swim distances are those continuous distances or cumulative sets and would you do them in a pool or as open water sessions?

[@michaelwilkinson5127]

Anxiously awaiting Team Trainiac release. Are you incorporating Tower26 drills in the program or do I need to join them as well?

[@EricGlenn]

LOL... Soul crushing weather... You make me truly laugh out loud... Thanks! 😂😂😂🏊🚴🏃

[@lexington476]

Yep, the solution to soul crushing weather is luggage 😃.

[@EricGlenn]

@@lexington476 LOLOL😂😂😂

[@lexington476]

Oh, another show idea... duathlons... where for folks like me who are only so-so swimmers the odds are more even. Maybe you've already done it showing to duathlons but didn't see it in the archive.

[@jamieporter8379]

Will the training platform launch in Jan be available for everyone? I'm starting my official training season in Jan and would really like some guidance tailored to what my goals are. Thanks.

[@martinlosonsky]

And what about swim? also 80% in zone1/zone2 or is it different?

[@andreavincent4619]

"1000 of those" haha! you crack me up!!

[@lexington476]

Show idea... how many races is too many for both short and long course.

[@joshuatucker6984]

QUESTION! Would you recommend following a training plan like yours doing it solo...or joining a club (I have a load of clubs near me) and doing their sessions etc?

[@gabrielminville738]

Joshua Tucker just don’t skip training

[@BenjaminBriu]

Awesomely!!!

[@ukaszkedzierski1621]

Seems like you really hate the winter in Canada - have you ever considered moving south? :)

[@mikedickerson3944]

A Turkish Sit-Up sighting!

[@strobi0001]

7k long run for a sprint distance competitor. Wow

[@braddenty503]

Man...thats like trying to compare a Kia to a Ferrari.
