"It's bloody good, because they always chase me" My training day is nowhere near as busy as his, so I can imagine him being sweaty all the time. The work these guys put into the sport!
i really like these training blogs specialized is doing there! I hope they will keep that good work up and continue with showing more athletes' training to wide public!
I'm a downhiller and only clicked this link after watching Sam Hill's segment, but I think this one is my favourite. It's great to see how calculated and intense this fella goes. Really inspiring.
i've watched this, along with the other specialized triathlon athlete videos, so many times as well, and ive nvr even done a triathlon, altho i must say this gets me extremely excited to do one
Great to see Tim in action. Train with him occasionally at Team MK. Top bloke. Modest, helpful, interested in other athletes. Good luck, buddy - you're going 'dirty fast' this year.
This is one of the predicaments that we at the top in our various fields face. In my own endeavours I have come to see that their were daily detracting habits that I took for granted but which limited my performance. I'm a double digit daily return trader in Fx and other accounts and with input from other elite traders I have a better handle on what may be limiting practices. At this level we look not at what is gained but what is lost.
Tim - great review as always and it's nice to see you put in perspective the amount of hard work that goes into being a world class athlete. Good luck for all future races! PS: Love the oversize treadmill that us common folk are used to.
i am not a experienced runner, but i got a lot of help from a nice doctor i knew even since he was just a boy- the thing i learned first was to run easy and have my shoulders down, not as high and up-pressed like it looks here....
@timmothey I agree this is awesome! so good to get an insight into training without the 9-5 to work around! Javi was saying on twitter last week that he had the specialized crew following him for a couple of days so I think its safe to expect more to come!
Caffeine (as in coffee) is a known performance enhancer. It reduces glycogen use during hard efforts. Since you have very limited amounts of glycogen in your body this is extremely beneficial. The IOC (Olympic committee) actually has a limit on how much you're allowed to drink during the Olympics. I think it's about seven cups a day. The best thing is that as a performance enhancer caffeine DOESN'T have diminishing effects even if you use it often
Best glasses to ride in if you can afford them. I know the price tags are usually steep but well worth it. Although all in all they make top of the range untouchable glasses. I have some for lifeguarding as well as triathlon work.
@timmothey Agreed! Videos of triathlete training regimens are some of my favorite videos. It's so fascinating to hear the athletes speak so analytically about their sport.
@RustyR I never heard that term before but I something that I do when I ride my bike which I believe is what he is talking about when he says this, is that instead of being on a gear you're comfortable at when riding, push it up a gear or two more which makes it harder.
What kind of treadmill is that? Is there a term for it? How much would one cost? Looks awesome. Tim is an animal and a kool cat. I've watched this video many times and it makes me appreciate his work ethic and what triathletes go through even more than before!
@LokOnStrtos Absolutely, he's one of my favourite cyclocross athletes. He's got a real smooth style. What makes him tick? Come on Specialized, hook us up.
Shit, he does a lot of intensity. I guess zone 1 days aren't very glamorous so no need to profile those. How many hours do top level triathletes train per year? I'm a full time xc skier and I'm aiming for 700 this season.
great video but the 6x1km speeds seem a bit fast (or the treadmill is off). At 5km pace that would be a good workout, but I don't he runs a 13:30 5km! The last 1km at 4min mile pace too, seems like it could be exaggerated.
Specialized has such loud cassettes. Is it do to the prawls??. I always hear a cyclist when a Specialized bike passes me. Anyone know why their cassettes tend to be so loud??
Got a workout just watching this.
This is the best video on UA-cam. I've watched it a million times.
Yeah Guy, the tom realy focused in Your everybory trainings
"It's bloody good, because they always chase me"
My training day is nowhere near as busy as his, so I can imagine him being sweaty all the time. The work these guys put into the sport!
There should be a superextreme ironman tri where they set dogs loose on them during the run leg
Guy just broke iron man world record. 7hours 40mins
As an age group triathlete, I have nothing but admiration and respect, that's an amazing amount of hard work to put into training
This all always gets my blood pumping before a trainer session. Great stuff Specialized!
i really like these training blogs specialized is doing there! I hope they will keep that good work up and continue with showing more athletes' training to wide public!
Love the fact that doing Sport and Exercise Science i get to watch videos like this, such an inspiration mate, keep it up!
Best training day! Interesting comments, and tips.
I'm going for a run now. Thanks!
I thought I was a hard worker with a 60 mile ride today. This guy is on another level. Truly amazing what we are capable of.
This is fantastic - great to see someone so talented and so totally non arrogant describe how they do what they do. Very inspiring.
amazing, just so amazing! How wonderful it must be to be THAT fit!!
I'm a downhiller and only clicked this link after watching Sam Hill's segment, but I think this one is my favourite. It's great to see how calculated and intense this fella goes. Really inspiring.
this guy inspired me to run.
Crazy. Never knew so much dedication was required. Thought most triathletes had a job too. Great
i've watched this vid literally 10 times. so inspiring!
i've watched this, along with the other specialized triathlon athlete videos, so many times as well, and ive nvr even done a triathlon, altho i must say this gets me extremely excited to do one
This man is unbelievable... very inspiring!
Thanks for posting! Great video with lots of goodness & great editing.

Love the video. It's great to get into the mind and training of such a dedicated athlete.
Oh my! Those bike lanes are perfect! 🤩

"..Venge...dirty fast.." BRILLIANT!!
Wow this is great! I'd love to see more triathletes training. Very interesting what the pros are on to...
Tim - great review as always and it's nice to see you put in perspective the amount of hard work that goes into being a world class athlete. Good luck for all future races! PS: Love the oversize treadmill that us common folk are used to.
great video boss man
It was a matter of time to beat the world record of the IronMan distance. Congratulations, Tim!
Tuve la fortuna de conocerlo el día de ayer ! Que increíble! Él es asombroso
This guy is motivating me. Time to go for a run, then swim, then bike.
Thanks Tim.
Great Video
this is the most painful thing to watch with a stress fracture. fml.
Wow that's some serious training!!
Wow, what commitment. I wish I had enough time to devote to this!
Absolutely Fab. Some precious info in there!

i wish him the best of luck for all his races that was insane training !!!
I rode my bike 11 miles yesterday... I need 48 hours off now!
I'm sorry Chris that not everyone is a lad like yourself
Tim Don. What a don.
damn you're keeping me from studying with this awesome video!
now i just want to go out on my roadbike!
Great feature!
Wow love to live near you! cycling looks amazing with great weather!

Great vid, would have been cool if he showed something about his nutrition too !
53-11 wild boy style, love it! Keepin it in the big blade Tim ai!!

Lol Nick Diaz didn't brought me here but still very happy to see some people form the 209 here!! Stockton baby! you know it
Love his running form! Perfection : )
That's awesome!! Good Luck!!
I agree, I'd like to see a 48 hour webisode with Todd wells

Yes yes yes love it, sick regime...iv got some work to do I guess!!!
"No dogs, that's good, because they bloody chase me" Preach my friend, preach.
Amazing!!!
Nutter! Such great motivation
The best!
In Chicago. I've never seen those. All the espressos and coffee cups are big over here. Even the small one
wat a freak. biggup tim. you are such a sick triathlete!
I wish I have a massage therapist at home. lol
wudin be like u to be drinking coffee :)... great video Tim...
Nice to see that he doesn't go by car but by bike when he goes to the gym
awesome!
This is motivation. Running 3times a day is tough.
glad i'm not the only one!
Inspiration !
damn south africa looks amazing
Great video,my life is only 25 % like this :) I must go higher.
haha Love the way Tim is so matter of fact about putting his body on the line day in day out! :-)
thats some treadmill session !!
Good job
What kind of treadmill is that? Is there a term for it? How much would one cost?
Looks awesome.
Tim is an animal and a kool cat.
I've watched this video many times and it makes me appreciate his work ethic and what triathletes go through even more than before!
What a beautiful place to train. Enjoy it bud from Oklahoma LOL
@LokOnStrtos Absolutely, he's one of my favourite cyclocross athletes. He's got a real smooth style. What makes him tick? Come on Specialized, hook us up.
Serious schedule
Não sabia que Tim Don era tão forte!
Respect!
AT the bike you look like Fabian Cancellara. But really I have a lot of respect for you!
Fair play tough work
That guy doing the massage... oweeeeeee I bet that hurts, but it feels great after
afinny02 I was thinking the same haha
fantastico.
Omg amazing 👏👏👊👊👊👊👊
Just had three I attacks watching Tim run a bath. Jesús how much training does he do?
It would be great to see a training day of a cross country rider, christoph sauser oder burry stander e.g.!
Giant treadmill, lol, love it !!
god damn i want a massage like that. and tim don you are a great inspiration for me!
where can i get the cool specialized t-shirts that i see everyone wearing? like at 5:41 for example
damn the training of a professional triathlete is so hard
Shit, he does a lot of intensity. I guess zone 1 days aren't very glamorous so no need to profile those. How many hours do top level triathletes train per year? I'm a full time xc skier and I'm aiming for 700 this season.

And he's only doing 1km at a time
If he gets a spot on the olympic squad for 2012 it would be a disgrace, the brownlees and will clarke are ranked way higher in the world.
The white stockings needed some 'go faster stripes'. Almost wrote 'suspended' then.
Specialized has such loud cassettes. Is it do to the prawls??. I always hear a cyclist when a Specialized bike passes me. Anyone know why their cassettes tend to be so loud??
