Saturday Swim Session: Steve Tarpinian’s Sprint Tri Main Set 2vii
Building your ability to sustain your threshold pace in a swim is an important capability for triathletes and open-water swimmers. These sessions further develop that ability by progressing the intensity as you work through the workout, but maintaining the Rest Interval (RI). The session gets tougher, as you work through it. This session will benefit triathletes of all distances, as well as other open-water swimmers.

Friday Fartlek Run: Gareth’s Tempo Run D
Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 75]: Illness
This week was a hurdle of a week, being the week before my nationals race I woke up Monday morning feeling more sick than I have in years. Somehow I pushed through working all morning but as soon as I got home I was bound to my bed and unable to walk without falling dizzy and nauseous. Even when I thought I was feeling slightly better I vomited four times for the first time in years securing the fact I wasn’t just feeling sick but had caught some sort of virus or food poisoning.
