Important reminder that the optimal training dose is the one that most benefits the athlete for their current situation. Sam Appocondo Appleton nailing his 3rd IM 70.3 victory this year own an average of 18.5 hours training a week the past 9 months.

Of course the 25-30 hour weeks in the 18 months prior play a big role and he is very much still cashing in on that + his 20 years in the sport.

CTL extremely low but as is proven time and time again, all metrics have their place but performance on race day is the metric that matters most.

@AltYelloNatPark @JesseAPaul Most cyclists hate holding up traffic for a few seconds. It’s a motorists convenience vs a cyclists life. But sure, keep doubling down and blaming the 17 year kid who lost his life due to a motorists recklessness.

[Sam Appleton @sam_appo]

@AltYelloNatPark @JesseAPaul Yes, let’s blame the bikes for a car drifting into the bike line and killing a person

@Alan_Couzens you don't realize how spoiled we are in AUS with all the 50m outdoor pools until you come to America for a length of time.
