An age-group triathlete averages 60km of running weekly while working 50-hour weeks, aiming for marathon-level performance.

This episode features a dialogue between host Marcus Herbst and an age-group triathlete guest. The guest opens by detailing their running progress, averaging 60km per week without injury, and aiming for marathon-level times despite a demanding 50-hour work week. They discuss the upcoming Challenge Roth qualifier in Mallorca, debating whether to taper fully or train through the preceding training camp. The host shares a quote from cycling expert Lars Teutenberg, who humorously suggests tapering only helps triathletes recover from chronic overtraining. The guest reflects on past performances, like a strong 70.3 race in Aix-en-Provence after heavy training, to support training-through approaches. Conversation shifts to logistical concerns for Mallorca, such as packing race equipment like helmets and disc wheels. They plan an Easter Monday bike ride of 150-160km with a local club, highlighting social aspects of training. The guest mentions adapting to a new, more aggressive time trial bike position, with only one outdoor ride this year due to cold weather. They express confidence in quick adaptation but note the need for more practice before Mallorca. The episode wraps with mutual well-wishes for Easter family time and training, scheduling a follow-up in two weeks. Throughout, themes include balancing triathlon with work/family, tapering debates, equipment logistics, and seasonal training challenges.
