@Jonathan I’m a bit late to this podcast but I’d suggest adding;
- 38:58 What phase to include (and how to balance) strength training
It’s a really good 15 minute section on lifting with other training imo, and @chad ’s point about sweet spot base not being easy training. I’m trying to blend 5x5 weight training with base at the moment, and settled on Olympic Tri MV Build.
It would be good if the podcasts were clearer on the types of strength training too when being discusssed because they all are really quite different in terms of stress and adaptations; body weight exercises, high rep low weight and high weight low rep. Certainly when I’m doing 3days per week 5x5 near my heaviest weights those are Hard days, and naturally hard to balance with TR plans, but a maintenance level weight 5x3 twice per week is a totally different story and easier to include with MV plans.
