In this call, Ben and Kerry answer the following questions:
I’m moving and will be able to have access to a pool at the gym everyday. Would there be any reason that it would be a bad idea after my running, biking, or lifting workout to get in the pool and do drill work to work on my form each day? Or should I save this for when I am fresh? Thanks!

I was told that one reason I had a huge explosive BM during a sprint recently was because my body was “in shock” due to not doing critical interval workouts that prepare body to deal with lactic acid and anaerobic threshold. What is your opinion and suggestions for avoiding this problem .

According to my training plan, I’m supposed to do certain run efforts at LT; however, the duration of some of those efforts is nearly as long, or longer, than the last 20 minutes of the 30 minute field test that determines my LT. Usually the average hr for these efforts is about 10 bpm under my LT. Suggestions?

I’ve heard some great feedback on the triathlon dominator program that you put together but was wondering if the program is specifically for IM distance, or if it could be modified for sprint and Olympic distance. If you wouldn’t recommend modifying it for sprint or Olympic what plan would you recommend.

My question is regarding plyometric exercises and how to incorporate them into my workout plan. I’m currently strength training three days a week. Should I supplement one of those sessions with a plyometric session or should it be more than that. Also once race season starts should I continue to perform plyometric exercises or back off?

On Saturday mornings I usually make up the power pancakes from one of Ben’s recipes in his book Holistic Fueling for Ironman Triathletes. I use pure maple syrup instead of that high fructose corn syrup crap, but recently came across agave nectar in the health food isle. Is this a healthier alternative than maple syrup? Or does it really matter what I use since after breakfast I do my long run of 2:45.
