I'm looking to make a guide similar to jwasham/coding-interview-university for training towards a triathlon (or any endurance sport, really) coming from someone with an anaerobic/sprint background.
- Markdown is easy and simple
- Can develop this document and program much like a software project
For the uninitiated, this is in general, a really expensive sport at the pro level, especially for bike-related gear. It is entirely possible to train without much of what will be described; however, the long-term benefits will be worth the cost.
- Coach
- Chest HR monitor
- Power meter
- Decent road bike
- Trainer/turbo

There's some math involved, but basically, your power will increase in a cubic relationship when your velocity increases, assuming factors like frontal surface area of the cyclist remain equal. Effectively, physics/wind resistance has given us an O(n^3) algorithm for our legs, which is very bad
-
Solution: draft, which effectively negates a lot of wind resistance
-
In a race, you can't draft unless it's draft legal, but aerobars will reduce your frontal area
- I suck at run, therefore I'm not talking about this (for now).
