  • Triathlon training habits pros wish they had adopted earlier, upgrading your TT bike, and more!
    Mar 19 2026

    This week we settled right into our usual selves, Eric caught us up on what he's been up to post-op, then we whipped out our brand new white boards and used them for a newer segment called Ranks Revealed, where we ranked our favorite sweet treats 1-10, before talking about some racing, and finally getting to listener submitted questions. This week we discussed:

    • Learning how to truly push your limits without holding back in training and racing
    • How to structure training when using trails and mountain biking without reliable pace or power
    • One training habit we wish we had adopted earlier
    • Best practices for treadmill training and how it translates to outdoor running
    • Traveling overseas with race nutrition: bring it or source it locally?
    • Racing a self-supported Ironman vs signing up for a branded event
    • Wetsuit use for slower swimmers: pool training, buoyancy, and rules
    • When to upgrade your TT bike vs continuing to invest in your current setup
    • Thoughts on HYROX and how it compares to triathlon training
    • When to schedule a training camp for maximum benefit before a race
