Description



In this podcast I check in with Brendan to review how the past 10 weeks of training have gone and what I need to focus on in the final four weeks leading up to the Gorge Downwind Champs.







If you missed Podcast Episode 43, I would recommend checking it out, and don't forget you can download the training plan there. But if you're limited on time, you'll still learn a lot from this discussion where we cover:









* What a good threshold interval session looks like







* Trying to maximize speed/distance per stroke at a given cadence







* Experimenting with paddle length and stroke length







* Cadence ladders and simulating downwind







* Different options for V02 Max work







* Benefits of Creatine for paddlers







* Brendan's view on Beta Alanine and Beet Juice







* Protein requirements and maintaining strength as you age







* Why training with cadence is so much better than heart rate or speed for measuring level of effort
