"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.
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.
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.
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!
@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!
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.
@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.
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.
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
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....
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??
@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.
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.
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
Got a workout just watching this.
As an age group triathlete, I have nothing but admiration and respect, that's an amazing amount of hard work to put into training
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!
This all always gets my blood pumping before a trainer session. Great stuff Specialized!
I'm going for a run now. Thanks!
Guy just broke iron man world record. 7hours 40mins
Best training day! Interesting comments, and tips.
Love the fact that doing Sport and Exercise Science i get to watch videos like this, such an inspiration mate, keep it up!
This is fantastic - great to see someone so talented and so totally non arrogant describe how they do what they do. Very inspiring.
this guy inspired me to run.

Thanks for posting! Great video with lots of goodness & great editing.
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
amazing, just so amazing! How wonderful it must be to be THAT fit!!
Tim Don. What a don.
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.
i've watched this vid literally 10 times. so inspiring!
this is the most painful thing to watch with a stress fracture. fml.
Crazy. Never knew so much dedication was required. Thought most triathletes had a job too. Great
Wow this is great! I'd love to see more triathletes training. Very interesting what the pros are on to...
Love the video. It's great to get into the mind and training of such a dedicated athlete.
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.
Oh my! Those bike lanes are perfect! 🤩
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
Tuve la fortuna de conocerlo el día de ayer ! Que increíble! Él es asombroso
Wow love to live near you! cycling looks amazing with great weather!

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
These videos are awesome, props to specialized for a job well done!
Crazy Awesome, No bloody dogs!!! Love that!!! You are truly unique Man, Respect Tim, HUGE one !!!!
Wow that's some serious training!!
Great vid, would have been cool if he showed something about his nutrition too !
the massage at the end....so much relief..I can do all the things you do just for that...
i wish him the best of luck for all his races that was insane training !!!
Thanks Tim.
Great Video
This man is unbelievable... very inspiring!
i could listen to this guy talk all day
Wow, what commitment. I wish I had enough time to devote to this!
I agree, I'd like to see a 48 hour webisode with Todd wells
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!
where can i get the cool specialized t-shirts that i see everyone wearing? like at 5:41 for example
Nice video, but what's wrong with his left arm when he runs?
@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!
This guy is motivating me. Time to go for a run, then swim, then bike.
Absolutely Fab. Some precious info in there!
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.
It was a matter of time to beat the world record of the IronMan distance. Congratulations, Tim!
"..Venge...dirty fast.." BRILLIANT!!
@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.
Just had three I attacks watching Tim run a bath. Jesús how much training does he do?
damn you're keeping me from studying with this awesome video!
now i just want to go out on my roadbike!
why does he change runners on the treadmill, is he running in newtons
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.

In Chicago. I've never seen those. All the espressos and coffee cups are big over here. Even the small one
What's over gear work?
Great feature!
That's awesome!! Good Luck!!
No weight training?
I wonder if he meant to say "Hang it on the line" right after "Balls to Wall" at 2:14
size frame bike? 54 o 56cm?
were do you life?
Beast Mode 24-7-365.
53-11 wild boy style, love it! Keepin it in the big blade Tim ai!!
Why South africa ?

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??
@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.
Yes yes yes love it, sick regime...iv got some work to do I guess!!!
why the big white socks?
are there teams that give you free bikes in iron mans?
Nice bike, not sure about the wheels though....
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.
And he's only doing 1km at a time
@LizardMojo But what is it? Is it a concentrate of the wildness of the JJJUUUUNGLE?
Good job
"No dogs, that's good, because they bloody chase me" Preach my friend, preach.
It would be great to see a training day of a cross country rider, christoph sauser oder burry stander e.g.!
I wish I have a massage therapist at home. lol
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
Amazing!!!
what's he put in the coffe at 1:40 minutes???
Cane sugar.
carb the fuck up m8
Não sabia que Tim Don era tão forte!
Nutter! Such great motivation
This is motivation. Running 3times a day is tough.
awesome!
Serious schedule
haha Love the way Tim is so matter of fact about putting his body on the line day in day out! :-)
he should ride fixed with that gear ratio for the overgear training
Great video,my life is only 25 % like this :) I must go higher.
What's his breakfast, before the oats? I keep pressing 1, and it sounds delicious the way he says it...
Inspiration !
What a beautiful place to train. Enjoy it bud from Oklahoma LOL
fantastico.
Dang would be cool to train like this for a year
Fair play tough work
No limit on caffine anymore.. and its a WADA not IOC
