As a Pro Triathlete caring for the heart is so important. We expect absolute max from our bodies so we need the main blood supply organ to keep up with the demands. Read my story 👇 #heart#athlete#triathlon @protriorg @TOinTRI you would get this!
We like to kid ourselves otherwise, but ultimately, your fitness is limited by your availability...
by the space you have in your life to train and recover.
When planning your 'easy' days, keep in mind that, no matter the intensity, if too long (relative to what you've been doing), it is no longer easy (& will eventually show itself as a drop in HRV)
Easy means easy - intensity and duration.

No excuse not to #HoldThatWater !
