Slowing Down to Go Faster:

In this episode of The Real Coaching Podcast, Joel Filliol, an international triathlon coach, delves into the significance of Zone 1 training. Contrasting the popular high-intensity training methods, Joel argues that consistent, low-intensity work over time is crucial for long-term athletic performance and talent development. He discusses the common training errors, particularly the tendency to perform low-intensity work too fast, and emphasizes the importance of managing intensity to allow for a greater accumulation of volume.

Joel also explores the misconceptions surrounding Zone 2 training and provides insights into appropriate training intensities using a five or six-zone model.

This podcast serves as an extended version of an article on the Real Coaching Substack, offering valuable advice for athletes and coaches alike.
