CASE STUDY: AYDA KACH x 70.3 SANTA CRUZ 📊🏄🏻‍♀️

One of my favorite coaching examples of why more training isn’t always better training. From June 15 to race day, Ayda averaged 8h40 of training per week. Most weeks were 7 to 11 hours and her biggest week was only around 12 hours.

But low volume did not mean easy training. We deliberately leaned into quality, intensity and specificity. Every session had a reason to be there: threshold work, Sweet Spot, race-specific TT bike work, quality run off the bike and enough recovery to absorb it.

Across the build, we split the disciplines into:
🚴🏻‍♀️ Bike: 48%
🏃🏻‍♀️ Run: 28%
🏊🏻‍♀️ Swim: 15%
🧘🏻‍♀️Strength/Yoga: 9%

Fitness increased from roughly 58 to 97. We definitely weren’t chasing training hours or trying to create the biggest TrainingPeaks numbers possible. Instead we were trying to make Ayda faster with the time she actually had available.

How did it translate at Santa Cruz?
Ayda swam in 34:48, biked in 2:32:14 and ran in 1:42:20 finishing 4th AG / 17th woman overall.

And the two goals we wrote down before the race?
✅ AG Podium
✅ 70.3 World Championship slot for Chattanooga
Both accomplished.

This is the part of coaching I love. Not asking: How much training can we possibly fit into someone’s life? Asking: What is the smallest amount of work we can do exceptionally well to create the biggest possible result?

Train with purpose. Recover. Absorb. 8h40/week. Mission accomplished. 🫡 Congrats Ayda! 🏆

Santa Cruz 70.3! This was my first @ironmantri 70.3 race back in 2019 (6:05 time)so it only makes sense that it was my PR today(4:58) 🥳

It’s been a long time since I actually committed to training for a race. For the prep I told @guschiavoni I can only do 8-10 hours a week max 11 hours and if you put any more, I’ll QUIT 🤣 turns out with efficient and some extra high intensity you can still get great results.

This goes out to all the triathletes out there feeling the burnout with hours and hours of training. You don’t HAVE to train 18-20 hours! Go live your life, this is a passion and. HOBBY. When it stops being fun, there is no point.

Special thanks to @zootsports for the support and the most amazing kit which got THE MOST COMPLIMENTS 💖🎉

Anyway, go have fun out there. Time to go back in hibernation. See you next year in Chattanooga!

What a great getaway spending a few days in Big Bear and we had a day at Tour de Big Bear 100 Mile! Taking 3rd on the QOM and couldn’t have done it without the domestique team! 🐻 🥉👑

Big thanks to da boys pulling me at setting the pace up Onyx on a windy day! @guschiavoni @nicholaslam787 @jacob__downey & Robert.
