Specificity : train how you race
LoadCore training principle: the body adapts specifically to the stimuli it is exposed to.
Specificity states that to improve at an event, you must train in conditions close to that event : pace, duration, terrain, intensity. For an Ironman, this means long bike rides at race pace, regular run off-bike sessions, and open-water swim sessions when possible. The more your training resembles your target race, the more adaptations transfer on race day.
In TriPaced:
In TriPaced, key sessions in the Peak phase are automatically calibrated to your target race A pace (Ironman or 70.3). Brick blocks, run threshold intervals, and swim efforts in competition zone are direct applications of this principle.
