I Asked Pro Triathletes How They Train 

Great video! Next time, if you can, please keep the persons information on the screen as long as they are interviewed. So cool to learn all these things. 👍

Joanne, it makes the interview hilarious. 🤣 Thanks for the great interview and personality!

I never even noticed until you said something, now I can't stop seeing it 😂

Lol, was wondering about that

It sounds accurate. I doubt they eat “bad” by any means, but they can get away with more from the crazy number of calories they burn. I feel that way to a lesser degree when I’m training for marathons.

They're running 35 minute 10ks after swimming and biking.. their 'shit food' is probably non comparable to the average person's diet

I am sure all their food is good whole foods not frozen chicken strips like much of the public. These are pro triathlons of course their diet is very good they don’t need to count exactly the calories.

6:46 Jonne looking great ♡

9:07 Notre Dame is open again ... ;-P ? Anyhow thanks for the insights again !

Omgggg Ot ❤️❤️❤️ Soooo cute

Works good but you need a Zero drop shoe with some cushion (like escalate, not sure if good now old models were) for longer miles though.

How do you know he doesnt have a different issue with his back that isint from incorrect posture?

@@josk249 I am not implying he has an issue at all. Only he can know that. All I am trying to say is that he should keep an eye on his posture in his day-to-day and maybe do something about it before it turns into a problem.

@@sandgenius i am saying he might and there's nothing he can do about it

In clinic, at least in my experience I can confirm that a high percentage don't stretch or do very minimal stretching, which eventually leads to them breaking down. If more spent just a little time stretching their bodies would function so much better!

@@SummitForWellness Interesting, thanks for your input. Are you a physio/osteopath?

It’s due to the physiology of recovery and the frequency and duration/volume of their training. Muscle react very differently to endurance exercise compared to strength training or power training (weightlifting or agility based sports etc). The most obvious example of this can be experienced first hand. Say you have not lifted weights for a few months, then you have a weightlifting session, the next day and the days afterwards you will feel significant tightness in the muscles you worked out. Now compare this to going for a long distance run or a swim after a significant break. You may feel some tightness the next day, but it is significantly less than the tightness after the weights training. Like I said this has to do with the recovery of your muscles and the extent of muscle breakdown/rebuilding that occurs during a weight sessions vs. endurance training. After endurance training, your muscles are not as shortened/tight compared to endurance training. As a result, the cumulative and ongoing recovery of endurance athletes is such that often they can get away with doing minimal stretching/mobility work compared to their strength-based counterparts.

These are pros so this is their job. Its actually not that many hours if you consider the average work week is say 40 hours. Don't forget a lot of those 30 hours might also be very low intensity "volume" work in zone 2 for example.

Time zones... We're all in different ones.

@@karenmatzke unless you're living in Japan he posted at 3am Sweden time and 10pm NY time

@@tristanguillemette6777 he is in Hawaii right now. That may explain

It happens more often than you think. Being an elite athlete does not make you immune to heart disease.

If they have underlying conditions, then yes. Heart attacks caused by typical factors like diet rather not.

Hokas is a big sponsor of triathlons but most top athletes are not on Hokas.

Are they a softer shoe so help lessen the impact for longer endurance athletes (vs more speed focused for marathon like Nike)?

"2 days off and 1 day off" id say

yeeeep, Mathias was telling me how many days "off" he takes from swimming, cycling and running
