In this episode, I chat with Caroline about the importance of carrying spares in triathlon, especially in long-course racing, and why knowing how to actually use them is just as important as having them.
We also discuss Rachel Entrekin’s incredible Cocodona 250 performance, and explore why women often seem able to compete with, and even outperform, men in ultra-endurance events of this distance.
The conversation then moves onto “hero weeks” and the growing trend of athletes trying to replicate the 35–40 hour training weeks shared by elite professionals. We discuss why this can send the wrong message, and why it’s important to understand that elite athletes have spent years gradually building the ability to absorb that kind of workload.
Finally, Caroline gives a quick update on her North Coast 500 attempt and the training leading into it.
