Q&A #91 - Training transfer effects between cycling and running; High-intensity training in Ironman preparation for time-poor athletes; Base-training "versus" HIIT  What are the cross-training (transfer) effects between cycling, running, and swimming? Where are the transfer effects strong and where are they weak?  For time-poor athletes, can a more high-intensity heavy training program translate to the required endurance for doing an Ironman? What are the considerations for finding the right balance between "base training" (low-intensity training) and HIIT (high-intensity interval training)?   LINKS AND RESOURCES: Scientific Triathlon website Coaching Training Plans Training and Competition Readiness in Triathlon Modelling the Transfers of Training Effects on Performance in Elite Triathletes Effects of Cross-Training.
