Introducing a revolutionary program designed for triathletes of all levels – from beginners to advanced – that illustrates how to optimize training intensity for peak performance. This program, designed by a fitness expert and elite coach, is backed by cutting-edge research.
Studies have shown that triathletes and other endurance athletes perform at their peak when 80 percent of their training is low intensity and the remaining 20 percent is of moderate to high intensity. However, a large number of recreational triathletes fall into the trap of the “moderate-intensity rut,” where almost half of their training time is spent overworking – even more than professional athletes. Overtraining doesn’t equate to smarter training; it can lead to chronic, low-grade fatigue that hinders recreational athletes from achieving their best results.
In “80/20 Triathlon,” authors Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden present data from real-world experiences and scientific studies. They provide practical tips and strategies, along with comprehensive training plans for every distance – Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman – to help athletes effectively apply the 80/20 principle of intensity balance. The benefits of this approach include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved overall fitness, increased motivation, and superior race results.
