I've used altitude both ways
To improve stamina below 1000m (Ironman Racing) and to compete at races above 3000m (Leadville Race Series)
@JohnHellemans will be sharing his experience with a new series that starts Monday - we're going to learn a lot
Top Questions from the Chartier doping case :
- Very difficult to do this alone, who else is involved in this?
- Why didn't Mikal Iden (coach) notice extraordinary performances in his training? Particularly as the Norwegian method is so data driven.
@bbculp@WestLoopTom@TriathleteMag@MSGCapital Or...don't drill at all. Similar to a runner who spends 1 hour mostly running, most swimmers will swim/pull/use intervals for that hour compared to a triathlete who will drill for a higher percentage of that hour.
Coach the athlete you have in front of you, not some mythical hypothetical model – Know your athletes, their strength & weaknesses, individualize to the greatest extent possible.
I got rejected from journalism school. I pitched small outlets for years with no luck. My book was turned down by 21 publishers.
I kept going.
Now I write regularly for my favorite publications. My books have sold over 350K copies in 5 years.
Don't stop trying.
@rrheisler @Simon_Olney @Timheming @protriorg How many other professional athletes have to pay their org to participate? It is another reason on a long list why tri hasn't made the jump into a semi-mainstream media coverage.
Can someone explain to me while a rule that should get an athlete DQ’d (according to USAT rules) gets completely ignored while someone who didn’t seem to intentionally block -but found himself in a situation he couldn’t get out of gets 5mins?
Whenever an athlete serves a drug suspension I think it should be mandatory to list his/her “Coach” and “Agent” on the suspension list.
The Coach and Agent just move on to another athlete with no punishment or even public acknowledgment. Some Agents names would appear MANY times.
