With unprecedented access to professional triathletes through live race coverage, social media, and YouTube, it’s easier than ever to follow the training, racing, and recovery habits of the sport’s top athletes. But just because the pros are doing something doesn’t always mean it’s the right approach for age-group athletes. On this episode, former professional triathletes Mark Allen and Mirinda Carfrae break down the latest trends in professional triathlon and separate what’s truly useful from what’s better left to the elites. From training methods and race tactics to the newest gadgets and equipment, they discuss what age-group athletes can realistically apply to improve performance and what may not be worth the time, money, or effort. Tune in as Mark and Rinny share insights from racing at the highest level and explain how athletes of every ability can train and race smarter.

Most athletes are convinced that the path to better performance is more. More miles, more hours, more sessions. Volume has become the proxy for commitment, dedication, and seriousness as an athlete. In this joint episode of the TriDot and RunDot Podcasts, Jeff Booher joins Andrew and Carrie to dismantle the more-is-better myth, walk through the data on quality versus volume, and answer the question that follows: if more isn't the answer, what is? The right sequence is intensity first, then duration, then frequency, with volume as the byproduct. Better before more. Then, and only then, more.
