## Resource

The first of two Q&A's and we start with the obligatory heat discussion. We'll have another Q&A on Thursday, then hopefully a traditional cast on Friday to help with your long ride or run. We talk about getting back into training after a break. We look at life's challenges with training. We get into how to let the workout build on its own. We look at the challenge of being enthusiastic but not getting faster. How to fix your swim one point at a time. What about training for a marathon and using the triathlon mix? His first Kona and a discussion about how to make it a successful day. Topics: Sitting in the heat vs training in the heat Staring over after a long break All layoffs are created equally The poison of life Start slow - let it build on its own When you're enthusiastic but not getting faster in the swim Don't work on the whole stroke Swim like a swimmer Triathlon Training for marathons How to handle Kona The team is back on the race course!
