Triathlon Training Myths BUSTED! | Ep 465

Oxygenaddict Triathlon Podcast

Coaches Rob & Chris chat through some of the most common myths they hear from athletes about their triathlon training.

By hearing 9 "triathlon myths" debunked, you'll be MUCH better equipped to improve your swimming, biking & running in the most efficient, effective way possible.

Including:

• Why swimming more WON'T necessarily make you FASTER (and how to train to ACTUALLY become a faster swimmer)...
• Why FAST RUNNING is the WORST thing a middle / long distance triathlete can do...
• Why easy running IS NOT junk miles...
• Why long, slow winter miles simply aren't necessarily...
• Why MENTAL strength is important but not at the expense of PHYSICAL strength...
• Why "no days with zero training" is a TERRIBLE idea (and the DIRE consequences of overlooking recovery)...
• Why fasted training DOES NOT promote fat burning (and may well be doing more harm than good)...
• Why you need to focus on much more than JUST POWER to achieve a faster bike split...
• Why achieving a faster run split IS NOT about being a faster runner (and why your bike performance is usually to blame for poor run splits)
