Simon chats with Toby Baxendale in part 2 of this conversation where Toby finally reveals the background to his 421 watt, 20 minute time trial. Among many subjects they talk about:
- The benefits of polarised training for recovery and overall performance benefits
- How a lower carb/high fat approach to nutrition led to an unexpected weight loss with no loss of performance
- Why “nose breathing” helps you to control intensity and avoid too much threshold training
- The moment when Toby thought I had gone mad
- Why improvements in lifestyle were more important than 421 watts
- What happened when Toby went “keto” for a 70.3 triathlon
