At my clinics and camps, I state that an athlete can train just 7 hours a week and cross the finish line of an Olympic distance triathlon feeling elated with the outcome.

Every workout has a purpose. I dislike the term “junk mileage” because I don’t believe junk mileage is accurate for any type of workout.
