Absolutely brilliant answer by Heather regarding the broken ribs, collapsed lung and maintaining fitness. Honest and to the point. Keep up the good work 👍🏼👌🏽

Thankyou!

This is cool! I'm signing up for my first triathlon for this September 25, I'm 40 turning 41 this summer and I just want a new challenge and to have a physical goal to achieve.

@gtn 2 года назад

That is awesome! Best of luck.

@DavidFritzIII 2 года назад

Thanks for the response @gtncoachescorner. It's really helpful exactly now as I'm really feeling better but taking that bit of extra time and lucky for me the weather here stinks so the indoor trainer it is.

@gtn 2 года назад

Happy to help!

i was hit by a car 2 years ago 2 weeks before an ironman 2 man relay where i needed to bike 150k and run 3x5 k. Doctors said rest for a month, so i rode easy and did a 5 hour 180k, but on the run my knee hurt like hell, so walked for a few short kilometers before my team mate took over. i needed a month full rest after that, then started really easy sessions on zwift. (i was afraid for outdoor rides for a while). Last year i was hit again, but that was not that bad, only bruises. For you, i suggest to consult with a doctor, physiotherapist, if they agree, and your injury is on upper torso only, should be fine doing some indoor rides. I wish a quick recovery, and believe, fitness will come back, dont be hard on yourself for the first few weeks. (i know, i was)

#gtncoachescorner Hey! Firstly, thanks for all the great content, it has been super helpful. Now for my question: I am struggling to really dial in my nutrition and hydration. Any tips for knowing proper hydration, eg how much to drink and ideal balance with electrolytes/sodium (I’m a bit of a salty sweater)? And then with nutrition…I’ve been testing different gels and fuel sources to find what works best for my stomach, but the race course I’m working towards (70.3) has different gels/fuel than what I am using. Do I stick with what works and bring my own, or should I try hard to acclimate to what’s going to be on hand? Thanks!

You guys ROCK!

@gtn 2 года назад

Thanks!

@Leeroy49 2 года назад

Would it make sense to do 1-2 season longer races followed by a short course race season to get more speed back?

@pawlecb5125 2 года назад

#gtncoachescorner Having used your half marathon training plan to smash my PB last year (thanks) I am using that same training for my 1st 70.3 this year - should the HM pace in the in the plan be paced as my stand alone run or as my expected half ironman pace (ie. slower coming off the bike)? And did your first pupil Mr Dan Lloyd ever run his half Marathon?

@michaelellison8329 2 года назад

Mark who you reach 50 plus gym, strength and core sessions are necessary 5 to 6 days a week to ensure your muscles are activated and aid in recovery is what I see is best formula for being injury free. I hope that helps your followers. What is key is medium to light weights and following a good form.

@jobanski 2 года назад

#gtncoachescorner To Wonder Heather, the Amazing James, and the Incredible Mark, whether I’m riding my stationary bike, or riding outside, my wrists ache and often go numb. Are there wrist workouts/stretches that work to reduce discomfort, or am I consigned to another form of pain while riding?

@CarlBaravelli 2 года назад

From what I understand, Kristian Blu said he would focus completely on full distance in 2022, but sprinkle in some superleague 😂 Gustav will be racing Olympic distance in Bergen, superleague, 70 3, and st George world's. Will be fun to see if they manage it all

@gtn 2 года назад

It's going to be an exciting year for sure!

@shaunjasper5465 2 года назад

Thank you for this video. You mentioned about hips and pelvis being out of alignment. Who should you seek help from if suffering with this? I've seen a physio and been given stretches etc but it's not really changing anything. Should I go to a chiropractor or is there something else you'd suggest? Thanks

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

Start with a reputable sports rehab center. Chiropractors come in two flavors: complete idiot quacks, and those who recognize the limits of their practice. Best policy is to interview them: if they think they can do more than they can do, DON'T LET THEM TOUCH YOU: they can be dangerous and really mess you up. Essentially all a Chiropractor can do is crack your joints: not to undersell that, anyone who cracks their knees, knuckles, neck, etc knows the value of that, and I don't know anyone who can crack their own back or hips, and I personally can't crack my own toes, so that's where a Chiropractor would come in. But anyone who oversells their abilities is outright dangerous: at least in Canada, the college of Chiropractors is really bad at weeding the quacks out.

#gtncoachescorner Before triathlon season I always do some races. Last weekend I did a half marathon that I've been running for the last few years. I planned my pacing through the different sections (there are some climbs) as well as nutrition, hydration, etc. Nutrition wise, after a good warm up and 15 minutes before race I ate 1 gel, then another at Km 8 and the last one at Km 15 so hopefully that'd carry me to the end. But around Km 19 suddenly my legs felt like jelly, it took all my will to keep running the last 2,5 Km at 4:35 Min/Km. Did I made short on gels or maybe it could have been something else? I took a good breakfast 3h before race, was well hydrated, drank during the race, etc. Thank you.

I do strength work twice a week immediately after swim

#gtncoachescorner Hello from Switzerland I started triathlon and did 1-2 short distances. What do I have to consider if I want to switch to the Olympic distance? Every tip is welcome.

@erictravis5995 2 года назад

Training around 11 hours per week right now. Short course requires a faster swim due to draft legal format, and better transition skills. The long course requires better knowledge of nutrition and pacing which the Norwegian athletes have been able to perfect with minimal experience thru the use of science.

@Leamare 2 года назад

#gtncoachescorner Hello guys, I've started triathlon last year with a Sprint distance race and am slowly progressing towards a 70.3 by the end of this year. I'm 41 and maybe because of that, would like to understand if there is a "minimum" recommended health check for those planning to start long distance races? big fan of your work, by the way!

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

Law 101 Lesson 1: Don't say anything to the police Lesson 2: Always consult your doctor before engaging in any strenuous activity

@Leeroy49 2 года назад

2h27 marathon = reasonably fit? That's fantastic especially for a triathlete. Get well soon.

@jobanski 2 года назад

Wouldn’t that be considered an “elite running pace”?

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

Anything under 3 is better than amateur as far as I'm concerned!

@youngy76 2 года назад

Hi GTN, im currently training for Stafford 70.3 in June and my weight is 235lbs which I am struggling to lose. I dont believe in diets as I think it should be a lifestyle change rather than quick fix. Any tips on nutrition for 70.3 training and weight loss tips ?

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

Diet isn't a lifestyle change? Or are you referring to “fad diets? It sucks to count calories, but I'll bet whatever app you are training with currently gives you a pretty good estimate of how many calories you are using, and you can count how many your are eating, which allows you to keep eating food you enjoy in appropriate portions. Once you know what each meal should look like, you no longer need to bother with the counting, it becomes habit: one might even call it a “lifestyle” 😉. I really like this guy's videos: he also struggled with his weight, but now has it under control. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fk8MDdhfkOs.html Hope that helps.

@DavidFritzIII 2 года назад

I train about 14 hrs a week on the non-recovery weeks. I feel like something is missing when I don't get my normal training in.

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

Common problem, very normal. Your body needs rest: rest is one of the most important parts of training. You will not progress if you don't give your body those recovery periods. But it's very common to feel like you could/should be doing more. Don't fall into the trap: just because you have gas in the tank doesn't mean you should be burning it today.

@lukasbaeckelandt3182 2 года назад

#gtncoachescorner should I train with my trisuit or should I leave it just for races?

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

You need to use your tri-suit at least a couple times before the big day to make sure you don't have any issues, any rash points. And if there are problems, you need to give yourself enough time to sort the problem before race day, so not the night before! But be aware you will look like an absolute tosser riding your bike or running around your neighborhood in your tri-suit, so moderation is key!

@robertchester1596 2 года назад

Heather. Not sure why you where saying there wasn't any world championships? 2021 World Triathlon Long Distance Championships Almere-Amsterdam. Which was an Ironman? Lets not say it doesn't count because it wasn't run by the Ironman Corporation

@jamesdonnachie7931 2 года назад

Can we see you work two weeks of 12 hour night shifts and see how much that effects your training? My swing of night shifts really effects my training, when I start doing 3+ hours on the bike I start falling asleep!

@wilfdarr 2 года назад

I always found it was the swing shifts that killed my training. Not sure of your personal situation, if it's possible, but if you can trade away all your day shifts for night shifts (usually pretty easy to do, and it's not so bad, especially if there's a night shift premium 😁💰), once you're firmly on night shift you get used to it and your training will come back. Try four to six weeks of that and see if you fair any better!

“If they don’t mind a little heavy breathing”. I’ve played Xbox with friends before on the treadmill. They could hear haha. Just don’t play a game where you run and jump off things, because you are running it messes with you when you jump, your body thinks it’s real.
