In this episode of the “All Things Endurance Podcast,” host Rick Prince chats with Professional Triathlete and Coach Matt Hanson. In addition to Matt’s job of racing really fast in triathlons and coaching other triathletes to do the same, Matt is the lead contributor to UESCA’s Triathlon Coach Certification. Rick and Matt chat about some common mistakes that triathletes make in their training.
Below are the specific areas that Rick and Matt cover in this episode:
1. Could you tell our listeners a bit more about yourself?
2. As not only a pro triathlete but also a seasoned triathlon coach, you likely see many training mistakes. What mistakes are often made related to training volume and training intensity?
3. Do you think apps such as Strava and social media play into these mistakes due to triathletes trying to emulate the training of other athletes?
4. Triathlon is a tech- and equipment-heavy sport, especially cycling. Do you see a lot of triathletes putting too much focus on equipment or marginal gains versus the training aspect?
5. What are some ways a triathlete can avoid making major training mistakes?
6. What are your thoughts on pre-formatted and AI training programs?
7. What mistakes do you see athletes make when deciding to hire a coach?
