#919 – Chasing Speed The Right Way

We all want to be faster and today we look at the right ways to go about speed in triathlon. We talk about pushing the limits along with how putting in easy miles mix. We talk about building habits that matter and why you always have the time to do the extra things that will make a difference. New the "latest and greatest" training methods, the simple power of repetition, and why most triathletes don't fully buy in to training. We also get into the biggest traps facing age groupers that want to be faster.
