Simon Lessing Training
 

"I have always coached myself although Dave and I did exchange thoughts idea's etc.
Funny enough as it turned out Dave and I ended up with same training philosophy which basically consisted of more tempo, sustained workouts and less volume.

I am a firm believer of running on relatively fresh legs, in other words in the AM as the first workout of the day.

Running on tired legs leads to very bad form, bad form can lead to injury.

It is not the same issue in swimming and cycling as these two sports are low impact sports and does not equate to the same injury risk level as running.

I believe in resting up for you key workouts in order to optimize the work out. No back to back workouts. Key run and bike workouts are broken up by at least 2- 3 days.

My long run is more of a tempo style run, definitely not in Z1.
This helped me develop my sustained strength, which is what triathlon running is all about!

Running running is not triathlon running.

The training and racing demands of triathlon running are very different to stand alone running.

We as triathletes are running far less than pure runners are, so many of my runs are more tempo based runs that equates to more quality and less quantity.

I could go on and on but in a nut shell this is what I have found to be the most effective way to approach triathlon running.

I have never questioned my ability and fitness leading into an Ironman event.
Nutrition, well that is a whole new subject! "

(FWIW, ich seh's anders. Lessing ist ein Gen-Freak.)

Da könnte was dran sein...

"Gen-Freak" ist jetzt was bitte?

Wie werde ich denn die Gene los?

Das sicherste Mittel ist Natronlauge ;)

Leistung, die nur durch fiesestes Talent überhaupt möglich wird.

Der vielleicht beste Triathlet aller Zeiten. 5-facher Weltmeister. Non-drafting und drafting. Exzellenter Schwimmer, bestialischer Radfahrer und wahnsinniger Läufer.

Hat bis jetzt allerdings erst einen Ironman gewonnen. Danach hatte er zum ersten Mal in seiner über 20-jährigen Karriere eine Verletzung, die sich so langsam entwickelt hat.

Hier gibbet mein absolutes Lieblingsinterview, da erzählt er auch viel zum Thema Training. http://ironmantalk.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=262072
