Episode Synopsis

This week, the guys take you through everything, including thinking bigger than just the A race.

How do you qualify for the world champs or GB age group team. We break both of these down and get into the detail. The new format from Ironman is analysed and discussed. Is it perfect? No, in short, but we explain why we also like the idea behind it. Is it doing a good job of promoting things like female participation in championship races? Is it fair to both sexes and all ages?

Then thinking about maximising experience and sharing races with your coach and team mates before then planning the season that works best for you:

•How to spread out races
•How many races per year
•How to block races together
•Making sure you don’t lose fitness with bad planning
•The complications of single sport races such as marathons
•Peaking at the right time
