Thanks for the videos Taren. The HRV average crossover blew my mind. I love tracking my data and never thought of the 7-day to 30-day HRV crossover indicator. You've also saved me a lot of $$ by helping me not get excited about the bells and whistles of a product and only really upgrading what I have for items that will move the needle higher. Keep it up!
I like the Whoop Band... but the subscription costs (in the long run) exceed my Oura ring by almost 2 times. Plus, (the last I looked) the Whoop band data is non-transferable.
There is a marked difference in your content when you can feel it is "sponsor based" vs "content based". The content based videos feel more solid and rational while the sponsor based ones tend to make you look more like shill. Not sure how to bridge that gap.....but just a feeling I get. Regardless, like this video quite a bit.
Hey Taren, I was just wondering what would be the benefits of using a Rowing Machine as a form of cross training for Triathletes? How would this help me? Cheers
Thank you for that video I needed to hear that not die over train this will be my first Iron Man triathlon for next year I’m in training because I had a hernia surgery so I’m taking it slow and I am a full-time Mercedes marathon runner so this will be my first half Iron Man triathlons I’m just getting things going and getting started but I take it easy and I try not to overdo it in the training so I appreciate the video of the comments that you left for us to look up things and I always watch your blogs thanks so much man keep me in your prayers this is my first Iron Man half so I know I won’t be ready until next year so I’m just getting my bike and everything and I got to get to the water soon as I can start doing a couple of swims thanks man God bless🏃🌊🏊🏻🚴🏼
Just stumbled across your channel and glad I did. If I come to Winnipeg can we social distance train together?! Also I hope you had fun racing GTN and I can’t wait to see the results
The HRV method you use is very good. But I found out that by micro-adjusting daily effort/endurance activities, I never run into extended recovery days. And, the method you use of 7 day vs. 30 day moving averages tends to need extended recovery days by the time the averages meet the recovery needed benchmark. That is why I like using the Oura Ring. It is better because it allows me to make daily microadjustments and avoids any extended recovery days.
Or, in relation to group rides, you ride at the front for 46km and with less than a km to go when you’re spent (after battling the elements) your “friends” decide it’s funny to speed up and leave you for dust to finish on your own 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I'm finding that my times are getting worse week on week with zone two training. They started initially to come down weekly, took a rest week, and now they are going up and up!
It will ALWAYS be a struggle for the average age grouper until many years of training. I think this something you need to get comfortable with. As a FYI it took me nearly 2 years to be able to sit in ZONE2 for more than 30 minutes while running. I can finally go about 2 hours now on a good day and sit in zone 2 before I just can't keep it down....but I still run at ~11;00min/mile. So.....let the process work and trust the process. Taren can afford to be militant because he has years on the feet....but you need to look at yourself and assess whether or not dipping into Zone 3 for a percent of your "long" or "easy" runs is really a bad thing. How do you feel after? Is it possible to do run walk (e.g. 15 minute run, 5 minute walk)? Can you do a run / plyometric combo (e.g. run for 15 minutes and do some exercise for 5 minutes). Could you possibly split your long run into two shorter runs spaced a few hours apart? You are you...engage with yourself. The key is to not over estimate yourself or push yourself where your body really doesn't want to go.
@@sebastiancaucci9969 same here. I started to use a garmin hrn dual. When I jog, not run, I sometimes have to slow down to a walk pace or just walk to stay within zone 2. Just gotta be patient for excess weight to come off and running fitness improve. I ignored hr training for a year and had lots of injuries.
Hi Taron, I’ve been a subscriber for years. Absolutely love your content! I’m registered for the full Ironman Lake Placid (7/25/21) and just found out today they’re forcing all athletes to be vaccinated with proof of they’re not allowed to race. I’m heartbroken as a non-vaccinated athlete. I’m willing to test negative on-site as a guarantee that I’m not bringing any risk to the racers, volunteer or community.... but so far Ironman has yet to confirm whether a test out option exists. Your thoughts?
LOL! If I only had the software editing skills. And I also must apologize to you for spelling Taren wrong above on your own channel! My bad Taren! Would love to hear your thoughts on Placid’s decision.
Great question. I spoke to the Town Of Elba supervisor yesterday whom had the authority to accept or reject the Ironman proposed race rules to ensure a safe race. It was Ironman whom proposed this stipulation. And when pressing Ironman on the negative test-out option they are silent for now.
Rather than list the VERY valid reasons one may not get vaccinated let’s look at science here as a foundation for determining what is best for Lake Placid as the host community. It would be completely reasonable and prudent to allow a non-vaccinated racer to simply test negative and participate. In fact, it would actually be safer to do-so if one were looking purely at the science and statistics of said athlete bringing risk infection to the Lake Placid community. Let’s see what the WHO has to say about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines: Based on the World Health Organization’s research the vaccine does not guarantee immunity for any specified length of time: www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/coronavirus-disease-(covid-19)-vaccines?adgroupsurvey=%7Badgroupsurvey%7D&gclid=CjwKCAjwy42FBhB2EiwAJY0yQj3XW9gNPAZgq-ZpudK883pYZcC9b5i24nGPt37weTfhNnrL-_nPYBoChWsQAvD_BwE “Will COVID-19 vaccines provide long-term protection? Because COVID vaccines have only been developed in the past months, it’s too early to know the duration of protection of COVID-19 vaccines. Research is ongoing ...” If you REALLY want to protect the host community it would appear the safest way is via negative testing on-site in their controlled environment vs. a “mostly effective, but who knows for how long” vaccine. Common sense needs to apply while the smoke and mirrors of this politically motivated “vaccine passport” should take a back seat since a negative test is the ultimate guarantee of a COVID-19 free racer showing up at the start line.
Adding insoles is horrible advice if it is not explicitly advised by a fitter who is looking at your individual mechanics. The addition or removal of Insoles can create massive changes in the chain and movement of the knee, which can lead to injury.

love that you bring real science to your concepts... such as “me time”!
I wear a whoop band with a hydro sleeve for swimming. It has been such a great investment in my training!

See.. we are not as rich as you. Done😂😂
That was the longest commercial. But I think it got me :-)
Man I need a bike fit..... If Ontario ever get's out of lockdown maybe I can get one.

Great stuff = How about a video on getting back in the pool after 6mo of no swimming
dut to Covid BS = thks
good tips for sure

sorry taren, i have to say it... boring...
and the "sponsored reviews"?? when did you changed that much?

The swim is all about stroke technique - efficiency - I see so many people putting in the yards/meters and just struggling because of their technique
Im learning from you every single day sir. You're right about the HR monitor. It's much more accurate than Wrist HR.
Taken, I use a Garmin watch. Should I get a garmin or wahoo chest strap
I have all 3 books. Swimming, running, cycling. Try falun gong.
Hey Taren which brand is that sky blue cycling jersey from?
@triathlon Taren
have you tried l-theanine to lower cortisol?
could you try if it changes the heart rate at a certain power?
The yard at 16:15 looks like my training plan.....
Great video. Love tips about keeping the low day low!
Should i move to chest HRM, coach?
@triathlon Taren what do you listen to while you have your air pods in exercising?
Taren has a song playlist on Spotify you can listen to..
When your swimming just take the heart rate from your neck. Count to 10 and in the same time count your beats. Than multiple that by 6
@@Lutekbutek when you are resting between sets how the fuck would that be possible while swimming 😂😂🤪
Don't be a nerd, just swim.
👍
i struggle with keeping Zone 2 in running
Same I find I can push on the bike and my heart rate stays low but I have to really slow it down for the run, do you use a chest or wrist monitor?
I'm finding that my times are getting worse week on week with zone two training. They started initially to come down weekly, took a rest week, and now they are going up and up!
It will ALWAYS be a struggle for the average age grouper until many years of training. I think this something you need to get comfortable with.

Is that due to New York State laws? Wouldn’t surprise me if Ironman had no say in it...

why dont you get a vaccine?
