👉 What the Key and Supporting sessions should consist of each week, for swim, bike and run
👉 If, when and how to incorporate Open Water swimming in this phase of training
👉 Why sleep is your most precious yet overlooked training resource, why it's one of your biggest opportunities to get fitter and faster, and how to structure your training around it
👉 Strength and Conditioning - what to do, and what NOT to do
👉 The supporting pillars or training - Sleep, Eating Healthily, Not drinking Alcohol, Controlling Stress - and why you'll NEVER perform to your potential without addressing each of these head on
👉 How to plan for when illness, work and social commitments mean you have to change your plan - and they inevitably will!
