HI! thanks for the message - appreciate you tuning in! Not 100% sure I understand your comment entirely, but I'll give it a go - you trie sticking to training in this manner and then on IM race day you go at a much lower intensity , correct? That essentially is correct, we would never race anywhere near high intensity if I understood your reasoning right. IT just gives us a big scope to work within so when you are doing the IM, Z2 feels "easier" and you use less fuel for your chosen effort. You are 100% right - nutrition is the ( I feel) deal breaker between performing at your best or just getting around.

Hi, I’m not entirely sure sorry, I don’t actually use Strava. They will probably add that API soon.

Hey - yes I coach an Egyptian and it's always a tricky time of year due to the forced fasting and fitting training around the timings, I feel from experience, it's best to go into a maintenance mode to be honest as the body is under stress. Everyone is different of course! Good luck

@@andybrodziakthank you for the response and insights . I was thinking of once in every 3 days strength and walk every day if possible. And once in a week recovery ride before breaking fast . And currently I am building and close to Feb last week land on a negative form like -10 .

@@asifnavaz Hey that sounds fine, just try progress each week and just see how you feel.

Santacruz???

HI Mia! Thanks a. lot, I appreciate the feedback - really always nice to get a little pat on the back! Keep consistent and watch some of my other video's and get on touch of you need some coaching. Cheers

Hey. hey!! thanks man! great work, enjoy the sesisons when you get time to execute them, hope you are going well and training smart! Thanks for the tune in! Andy

HI, thanks. You're right, we do need a good core and some balanced breathing first - my aim with this video was once you outdoors to practice sighting for example, one way is to take fewer strokes, sight and adjust how many strokes you perform before sighting again, something that works a treat for most of my guys I coach. I probably didn't get that across very well, thanks for tuning in. Andy

Hey! appreciate the comments, keep working at it and you'll slowly progress...hope you enjoy the video's! Andy

Hey - that's great, I have heard that before yes! I've got some floating around here at home, I just never used it! No need to buy expensive over priced spray then! Cheers for watching and feedback man! Andy

Hey - thanks for watching and the feedback. I agree, course is vital - so individual and yes smaller races need top 3-4 per age group. You can past reference times and work out what is needed as an average, something I do also. SOuthern Hemisphere races are limited, so the competition is fierce, agreed! I arced in AUS for a year, early days, was fun. It's very hard for you guys, I can see that. Good luck with it! Andy

Great work, yeah there are definitely take homes that all of us can implement here, so build good habits and that way in your 40's you'll be set!...and ahead of the curve....

Hi, that's very nice of you, thanks for tuning in!! enjoy the others around fuelling and other equipment choices etc...Andy

Hey - thank you man! great stuff glad you enjoyed it!

Hi! Thank you, I appreciate you watching and tuning in! 6 months is a great amount of time to develop and build slowly. Watch this one I did a while back, it might help more - ruclips.net/video/YteMRSqVV6g/видео.html. thanks, andy

Hi, thanks a lot! I appreciate your time and support...it's building nicely and thanks to you! Glad I could add some value, 40's is the best man!! weight management is tricky and it's often the low hanging fruit and just timing of meals around training or adding some fasted work in early in the morning - I am going to a video of Fasted work, as research changes a bit here plus views/opinions. Try not get hung up about losing 10kg for example, just stay strong and injury free, consistent and the weight will take care of itself!

Hi, thanks! it was when I went to Commonwealth Games with a triathlete in 2022 and she was with Team Mauritius, so I got a whole lot of cool swag! what an experience!!

Hey thanks for the feedback!! things are building nicely and comments like this always help fuel the fire!! cheers

Hi Terry, thanks for the message and tuning in! Hope you enjoying the video's. Summer IM is great, and yes you want to be training now for sure, just not for specific Ironman type sessions, this is too draining and plus it's winter in NH. Work on high intensity, gym strength work, run economy ( plyo's, LT1 development; volume/frequency) - what I mean is you don't want a full ramp up until around 12 weeks out as it'll feel like you are drained by the time you get to June! andy

@ thanks for the follow up Andy. This is exactly what my plan contains.

@@terrycurtis260 Excellent!

HI Matthew, thanks for the message - happy new year! Tenby!! what a race...I may be there I'm not sure, doing some Precision Hydration work. I did a video on this exact topic, just check the library, but yes 2x sessions as a min, so you actually get the rewards and no DOMS, I like the full body workout 2x a week as you cover everything and it maintains you well. In winter though, like now, you could be more specific in areas you feel need more load, like posterior chain and 1 leg strength. This take more time and also will fatigue doing 5-8 reps with heavier load for example, but always seek guidance if you're not sure as you can easily hurt yourself! Andy

Hi John, many thanks for tuning in and watching my video's. I hope you are enjoying them, more to follow! Happy New year..good luck for May, Mallorca more than likely...what a race!

Hi, thanks for the feedback,a plus watching my vdieo's! Hope you enjoying them. Yeah, Steve Peters, have a read of his Chimp paradox, very useful. Yes about tubeless, never rely 100% on it! it hasn't caught me out yet but loads of people I know relied on it and didn't carry spares, bad error!

Many thanks! glad you enjoyed it...just a bit light-hearted and was fun to think back...old now!!! Andy

Hi! thanks Gareth...something different here to finish off 2024, I hope you do well at your races and watch some of the fuel/hydration video's as this is an area you can make easy gains without training more! thanks for tuning in..

Hi! Thank you. Very kind of you, looking back at that early video, using old equipment, makes me smile, I know have upgraded you may have seen from the more recent ones! it makes a difference! I appreciate your feedback, thanks for tuning in! Andy

Hey - just go for it is all I say... you gotta just keep plugging away! that's what it takes, you're already knocking on the door, you might just need some help with the small tweaks. Performance profiling and making small changes. Andy

Hi, thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it and am just trying to get this out and keep sharing my love for the sport and coaching which has given me a great experience of life thus far, glad you enjoying them! I'll keep putting out video's so tune in! Andy

Thanks a lot, great to hear from you, enjoy the video's! Agree, I never had much talent and was a terrible swimmer, weak on bike and could run ok, just years of training and having fun, plus making mistakes and learning from others has made me what I am - Andy

Thanks a lot, great to hear from you, enjoy the video's! Andy

Thanks Steven - I know it feels like that, but like I said to another chap below - it's just plugging away for a few years doing nothing magic, and you get better and better, just feels easier, if that makes sense. I was a terrible swimmer, weak on the bike and ok at running, no natural talent. Average VO2 max also. Just years of turning up! andy
