Hunter Allen & Andrew Coggan’s Cycling Intensity
How do you measure intensity? So many coaches use so many different methods, power, Heart Rate (HR), three zones, five zones, seven zones?? I’ve been planning a series of weekly articles for over a year now, looking at what different coaches prescribe (or used to prescribe) and why. This article is part of a series that is exploring how other coaches determine intensity, using Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan’s Training and Racing With A Power Meter book as the primary reference.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 17] – School Cross Country
This week I had my school cross country, this is my first year as a senior so running slightly further, for my school event we still run the same as everyone else due to a lack of space to run the extra distance. I go to a pretty small school so the age groups aren’t massive but I knew I still had others who where capable of pulling something out of the bag so couldn’t just take it easy.

Saturday Swim Session – Sutto’s Ironman RPG D
Using a pull buoy can be like a double-edged sword; overreliance on it can make swimmers lazy, impacting their balance in the water and impacting their ability to kick. However, inclusion in a training plan occasionally can be of benefit. Rehearsal of your Ironman Race Pace or as Brett Sutton calls Race Pace Groove (RPG) is essential for a solid Ironman Swim and allows you to gauge your progress. This session is good for triathletes, especially those preparing for an Ironman, as well as open-water swimmers.
