Two identical triathletes take on a training program.

The first does mostly easy training with some high-intensity sessions.

The other does mostly easy training with threshold workouts and minimal high-intensity sessions.

Who comes out on top?

That’s the question we aim to answer today.

The two examples provided are polarised and pyramidal training models.

And there’s a huge debate about which approach is superior.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.
