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
