IRONMAN Taper Fatigue, Longest Training Ride for 70.3, Road Bike vs TT Bike & Best Tyre Choices: Ask Coach Rob | Ep 610

<li><br></li><p>Feeling flat during your taper? Worried you&#39;ve never ridden the full 56 miles before your first 70.3? </p><p>Coach Rob answers listener questions on why tapering feels rubbish (and why you&#39;ll feel so much better by race day), and why you&#39;ll ride faster on race day than in training. </p><p>He also covers whether you need a TT bike for Ironman courses like Austria (spoiler: there are probably more impactful upgrades to make first), how to train for the swim in a lake, and how fit you need to be a year out from IRONMAN. </p><p>Plus athlete success stories from Ironman Wales and Leeds.</p><p><br></p><p>Got a question for the show?
