This week Rob answers questions from athletes and listeners on three common IRONMAN training challengesFirst up: what to do if swim cramps are forcing you out of the water. Rob covers the conditioning side, the electrolyte angle, and why supplementation made a real difference for him personally.Then: normalised power vs average power on a hilly course like IRONMAN Wales — and why always riding to your NP number is the single most important thing you can do to protect your marathon.Finally: how to structure the two weeks between back-to-back 70.3 races. Rob lays out exactly how to recover, when to reintroduce efforts, and why the second race is often the faster one.* * * * * * *SPONSORS* * * * * * * *Thinking about your first Ironman or 70.3 in 2026?
