I always have 2 slices of avocado toast with salt, and a drizzle of olive oil before long gravel bike rides. Did the same before my last triathlon and can absolutely recommend it. Long lasting energy from the avocado, not too hard on the stomach, and „low residue“ 😉
#GTNCoachescorner. Hello. I have a question about easy workouts. Everyone talks about hard training weeks, but almost no one talks about easy weeks. Tell me, what kind of workouts, volumes, and loads should be performed during an easy week. Thank you.
I’ve seen pros mention that they do varying amounts of training on a road bike. Some seem to do a little, some seem to do quite a lot. Is there a benefit to doing some bike sessions on a road bike, and if so, which sessions get the most benefit? Thanks for the great content! #gtncoachescorner
#gtncoachescorner I am a trail runner and I often go on the bike for some crosstraining in order to minimize the impacts from running. But I was wondering, could one replace entirely a slow/recovery run by a bike session? And if so, would the ride be as long as the recovery run?
#gtncoachescorner Yet another HR question 🙂 when I did Ironman UK last year I kept my HR in zone 2 so it was all nice and manageable for 15 hours. When I'm doing a sprint however I can't help but notice my watch telling me I'm pushing my max HR early in the bike. Am I shooting myself in the foot going all out or should a sprint tri really feel like you're pushing it to the max the whole way. Tempted to take the watch off next time and go with my gut 😂 I do have atrial fibrillation which is a different topic but influences my HR decisions
#gtncoachescorner Hi GTN! I’m competing in my first 70.3 in May to fundraise for Breast Cancer Now, and I’d love to redecorate my trusty Trek Sora in the charity’s iconic colour of hot pink, and add some decals! Are there any products/methods that you could possibly recommend for a clean, durable finish, or are custom paint jobs better left to a professional?
Im usually being 🤮 on race morning so anything is a bonus😂. I sip a carb drink on the way to the start. By the end of the swim I'm HUNGRY so I keep a banana in T1. Anyone else have solutions for this problem?

Consuming gels with empty stomach may work as laxative and increase bowel movements. For ex. Duphalac syrup (inc. lactose, galactose, fructose)

I’ve tried so many different pre-race meals. Current fave is cream of rice! Similar to porridge but much easier to digest.

#gtncoachescorner What’s the ideal meal plan for the two weeks leading up to a full distance Ironman?
New to this channel. Thanks for the info!
Always have 2 eggs on toast on race day never had a problem
I need a TLDR
