b"Joe Gambles has been racing triathlon professionally for nearly 25 years and has been coaching for the last seven years. We've gathered many of our triathlon-specific questions for the right athlete and coach\\u2014and Joe fits that bill.\\nTraining distribution\\nThis question comes from Frank Bastion in Bellingham, Washington. He writes:\\n\\u201cI\\u2019m new to triathlon, but have a decent background in other endurance sports including running, which I did for five-plus years competitively. I haven\\u2019t yet hired a coach to work with me for triathlon training. What\\u2019s the best way (or ways) for me to determine how my training time should be distributed between the three sports?\\nFor further background, I have the least experience on the bike. I used to swim in high school and was decently competitive. Running is what I\\u2019m most comfortable with.\\nRunning outside after running inside all winter\\nThis question comes from Hampton Pryor in Sheffield, UK. He writes:\\n\\u201cLast year I did a ton of my riding on Zwift during the winter. While I was doing that, I noticed increasing numbers of people using Zwift for running. So this winter I\\u2019m seriously considering moving almost all of my training indoors, and doing my runs on the treadmill on Zwift over the winter. But eventually I have to get outside, right? How can I make the transition to the road easier once the snow melts?\\u201d\\nPrioritizing events\\nThis question comes from Stefanie Weidenhammer from Munich, Germany. She writes:\\n\\u201cIn the past several seasons, my training and racing has been very disrupted. It has been three summers since I have been able to do a full Ironman distance event. As I rebuild toward a goal of completing one in the summer of 2022, would you recommend I use sprint, Olympic, or half Ironman events\\u2014or a combination of several of these\\u2014to prepare for a full Ironman event? How much time would you leave between each of them? How should I approach the shorter events when using them as practice for a full distance event?\\u201d\\nGI distress on the run\\nThis question comes from Zdenek Novak from Prague. He writes:\\n\\u201cTell me when you have heard this one before: I often will feel good on the bike, but once I start the run I will frequently get pains in the stomach or other symptoms of discomfort [GI distress]. What is the answer? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? I have tried using all manner of nutrition on the bike, from all liquid to all solid, and everything in between.\\u201d\\nKnee warmers!\\nThis question comes from Joe Melton of Utica, New York. He writes:\\n\\u201cI live in the northern U.S. and it\\u2019s starting to get cold here when I train. I\\u2019ve heard your podcast about covering your legs, but I think I can tolerate the cold better than most. I frequently wear arm warmers, but my legs are fine. Do I really need knee warmers?\\u201d\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices"
