Recently people have started to be surprised with how fast Ironman racing is becoming in this “post covid” era. This is not only for the pro but also the Age Groupers. I decided to write a blog on what might be driving these improvements. open.substack.com/pub/hopperspor…

I wrote a piece where I breakdown why I think an often used study to say low cadence training doesn’t work isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. This is the first time I’ve ever done something like this so any feedback would be appreciated open.substack.com/pub/hopperspor…

Interestingly in an interview post Olympics/pre IM Frankfurt, Kristian Blummenfelt felt that looking back at his Olympic preparations he did too much threshold/capacity work and not enough high end work. His performance on the weekend definitely adds some substance to his beliefs

So having a coach doesn’t necessarily mean someone will be winning races all the time. We have to ditch that point of view. Having a coach means you are willing to accept the help of a third person who can see and solve a problem you do not see or do not have a solution for.…

Anyone have much experience with aero calf guards for people with XL (44cm+) sized calves? Ether fit or testing. I’ve found in a few I’ve tried the aero fabric can get quite stretched basically loosing it trips.
