by Mark Allen
During my 15 years of racing in the sport of triathlons I searched for those few golden tools that would allow me to maximize my training time and come up with the race results I envisioned. At the top of that list was heart rate training. It was and [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;ll start with THE GREAT SECRET of middle distance training. Your body is actually very very intelligent, and can adapt beautifully to new workloads and higher intensities if trained very hard, SPARINGLY, after having developed a wonderfully dense capillary bed throughout the working muscles beforehand. For every very intense training session required to [...]]]></description>

Somewhere I said that if an idea wasn&#8217;t simple enough to be written down on a matchbox, then it was probably too complicated to get across.
