Welcome

This is the first issue of the Train Smooth

Magazine. At this stage we will publish a new

magazine every quarter with the aim of turning

this into a monthly magazine by 2016.

Train Smooth is a new brand created in January

2015 and would be the fastest growing triathlon

coaching business in the world.

There are many parts of the Train Smooth brand

with triathlon coaching being the core of our

business.

Our Business

We have a weekly blog at Triathlon Hustle

where we blog about the business side of Train

Smooth. We cover what is working, what is not

working, the number of athletes we coach, how

many have joined each week, and those who

have left along with their reasons for leaving.

This is full transparency that we offer in order

for athletes to not only see the way we do

business but also for other coaches to see what

we are doing and hopefully learn from our

mistakes.

Ian Thorpe Sleep Secret

When Ian Thorpe was at his peak and

dominating the world of Olympic

swimming, he would always set his alarm

clock to wake him two minutes later than he

needed, so if he were to wake up at 4am to

set off for swimming training, he would set

his alarm clock for 4:02 am.

The reason for this was that an extra two

minutes sleep each day may not seem like

much, but over a year, it is a little over

twelve hours extra sleep and recovery he is

gaining.

Becoming a full time pro

triathlete

With fewer than 20 percent of pro triathletes

who can make an actual full time living

from triathlon, the single biggest advantage

to being one of these pro triathletes is the

sleep recovery they are able to obtain over

the pro triathletes who work part time or full

time.

On average, a full time pro triathlete can

sleep between ten to twelve hours a night.

Train in the morning, have a lunch time nap

for one to two hours and train in the

afternoon. Now we are starting to see a

correlation between the pro triathletes who

can train, recover and race full time, versus

the pro triathletes who have to make a living

away from the sport.

brush your teeth before heading to the pool. Way

too often we jump out of bed and into the pool, cut

some laps and in between sets we are breathing

better pal in the water and leave the early morning

breathe at home.

You decide you would like to do a fun

run as part of your training. You are

at the start line, shoulder to shoulder

with everyone and you can smell “it”.

Please shower and use deodorant

before you get to the start line. At

every run race there are a number of

people scattered through the crowd

with body odour and there is only one

thing worse than smelling someone

else’s body odour, and that is smelling your own, because by that stage, it must be offensive to

others.


An Ironman weekly long run

Allan Pitman Ironman Triathlon Coach

http://www.aptriathlon.com/

When training for an Ironman, the

weekly long run is the most important

workout of the week. In the actual race,

your fortune is decided in the run. Mark

Allen once said, “You swim and bike for

show, and you run for the dough”. If we

look at the results of any category in an

Ironman race and the fastest five runs are

generally the fastest five overall places.

It’s not uncommon for experienced Ironman competitors to run past other athletes

who over shorter distances are better runners. One reason for this is a poorly

executed nutrition plan. More Ironman races are ruined by over feeding than by

under feeding. Another common reason for athletes not running to their potential is

mineral imbalances, usually salt deficiency. This is pretty easy to fix.

My observation in training hundreds of athletes to Ironman races is that many of the

athletes who we run past in the race have simply not trained for an Ironman run. You

don’t need to be running fast, yet I see athletes doing fast track sessions and

neglecting their long endurance runs. Often when they are doing their long

endurance run, they’re doing it as a race paced rehearsal. They’re not actually going

out to condition the muscles to burn fat efficiently.

An endurance run is not a time trial.

Leave your Garmin at home. It’s not

going to help you run faster on race day.

The obsession with measuring

everything in training has taken the

athlete’s eye off the ball. The object of

the long endurance run is to teach the

body to utilize fat more efficiently as a

fuel, and to condition the muscles in the

legs to be out for a long time.

* Try starting the day with a strong espresso brewed from freshly ground beans, not

instant coffee. Caffeine kick starts the body into fat burning mode.

http://www.aptriathlon.com/


* Start out easy. Endurance that is

efficient fat burning is built at low

intensity. A long endurance run is

actually run slower than race day pace.

* Pay attention to good posture, and

efficient foot placement – the most

important thing you can do on race day

is hold good posture, we do lots of core

strength work to make sure we can

hold good posture. Think about this as

you become fatigued. When you’re

racing everyone around you are going

to be exhausted, hold yourself together

and you’ll creep away from them.

* Shorten your stride on the up-hills, you’re not here to show anyone how fast you

can run up a hill, you’re here to work on your efficiency. Make efficiency the goal

for the whole run.

* Include short walks to re-set the mind back onto the best technique and posture. If

the 30 step walks add to the time you’re out running, but cause you to run more

efficiently, you have won on two fronts. The longer you’re out there the more

endurance you will build, and if you get used to maintaining great posture through the

whole run, it becomes a habit which will reward you on race day.

* Add a walk to the end of your long run to extend the endurance benefits. I usually

get home and take the dogs for a 20-30min walk to the park. This extends my

endurance/fat burning for another half an hour without any more impact on my body.

* Give yourself time to recover from

the long run. Make sure you take

your anti oxidant supplements with

your recovery drink. How well you

feed after a workout like this will

determine how much you gain from

it. You’ll know if you’ve done your

long run at the right pace if you can

come home and mow the lawn after

it. You should not be wrecked by it.

Slow it down, and enjoy it, long slow

runs are good for your soul, and your

longevity in the sport.


Number one tip for improved performance in

any level Triathlete!

Dylan Evans

ITU Pro Triathlete

Triathlon Coach


As a coach and Professional Triathlete

I am always bombarded by questions

on how to improve. There can never be

one answer, as each individual person

can better themselves in different

ways. However “consistency” is the

key to sustained success with any level

Triathlete, no matter if they are a

beginning age grouper, Junior or Elite.

Many Triathletes are obsessed with

training camps, a big training weekend

or week where they up the miles and

believe that this period is going to take

them to the next level. My philosophy

is that however much training you

accomplish in one week, you want to

be able to do it the next week and the

week after that and so on. Otherwise

you will lose all the benefits from your

camp or bigger training period.

Consistency can help eliminate injury

so create a routine and build strength

and resilience.

No one should over estimate the power

of consistency. You might want to go

and do that massive 500km week of

riding, but if you can only manage

50km the next week, you won’t gain

the benefits. When sitting down with

your coach, or if you are looking at

writing out your own program, take

into consideration work, family and

training facilities and try to create a

sustainable training regime.



Ten tools to make life easier

Tim Egge http://www.timegge.com/

We being triathletes want to simplify life as much as possible for one reason, to

enable us to do what we do best and enjoy, and that is to train. There is nothing better

in life than clocking up miles in your training log, but in order to get the training we

need to put in, we must get our act together.

I feel as though I am the busiest man in the world with all the projects I have on the

go at any one time. I work full time shift work, I have a wife and two awesome kids,

I am building a number of brands and I race Ironman on a continual basis. I joke to

people that I burn the candle at both ends, but truth is I simply have my act together or

at least compared to most.

These are the tools I rely on every day that make my life manageable.

Paper to Pen - A needs list

Nothing flash about this but I have an A4 piece of paper that has seven boxes,

Monday through to Sunday. I list everything that I NEED to do in each day and not

what I want to do. This is only a needs list.

Always looking at this list, I can make sure I can hit this list wherever possible and

often I am able to complete, or at least start a task on this list before I really need to.2

Evernote.com

This is a free app that I live on. I do everything on Evernote.

I have written books, written articles, I rely on it for

reminders and store information within it. This has more or

less provided me with a portable office in my phone. If

someone gives me a business card or I have some paperwork

that I may need to refer to at a later date, I take a photo of it,

save it in Evernote and when I need it, I have it within

seconds.

http://www.timegge.com/


Everything goes into Evernote. In truth, most of this magazine was created within

Evernote. https://evernote.com/

TickTick.com

I have just started using this app over the past couple of

months. It is a free checklist app. Now that I have created a

workflow, I create a checklist within TickTick and one by one,

I tick the items off, ensuring I do not miss something within

the workflow of a week, a task or a project, etc.

This is a really excellent app and very easy to use. The other

good side to this app is that once I have all my weekly tasks written in to TickTick

correctly, I should and could be able to pass my phone or tablet on to anyone and they

can conduct their life using my systems, performance and defined sequences of tasks

with clear work instructions, all within the checklist. https://ticktick.com/

Gmail

I love Gmail. It is so simple to use, free and has large storage. Finding emails is

really simple and quick. I cannot imagine life without Gmail. Between Gmail and

Evernote, I really do have a portable office in my phone.

Gmail Secular

Because of the number of projects I am working on and the brands I am building, I

have recently started using Gmail Scheduler by ctrlq.org where I can write emails

days or a week in advance and schedule them to be sent at the day and time required.

It took a few minutes to learn how to use this free program but now I can, I love it and

it saves me time.

Google Calendar

I could use TickTick or Evernote, but find Google Calendar

very clean and simple to pencil in such as appointments,

events, notifications, (such as my wedding anniversary is a

week away), and of course all other important dealings or

occurrences not to be forgotten.

https://evernote.com/

Final Surge

I am a triathlete who loves to train so I need a training log, therefore I love Final

Surge. All my training is logged into Final Surge. Now when I get to the pool and

forget the advice and instructions my coach Allan Pitman has given me, I simply look

on my phone and there it is. Final Surge is also a free app and you can sign up to the

free account. http://www.finalsurge.com/

Hootsuite

I manage all my social media accounts within Hootsuite. Facebook, Twitter,

Linkedin, Google+ is all connected to Hootsuite dashboard where I can post months

in advance, browse and connect with others.

Hootsuite offers a free account and you can manage up to three social media accounts.

After this there is a small fee. Due to the fact I have Twitter accounts for each brand I

am working on. This saves me so much time in my week, it is worth the small

amount of money. https://hootsuite.com

Allan Pitman

I don't know if Allan would like to be referred to as a “tool”,

however having Allan Pitman as my coach and having him

create my programs, where I am not emotionally attached at

the time of creating the new program, allows me to get the

most out of myself.

It is not only Allan’s reliable coaching that I depend on. He is also my mentor and

friend and that is why Allan is my “must need” tool.

Interview with Guilherme Campos

Thank you for your time and being part of the first issue of Train Smooth Magazine. What

was it that first motivated you to become interested in triathlon?

Growing up in Rio de Janeiro Brazil, I was always much more influenced and exposed to team

sports. The triathlon and running community is booming there right now, but a couple of years

ago it wasn’t. That being said, I pretty much came late into triathlons. I first started doing some

running races influenced by a friend who was a former triathlete and by that time was training

for running races. He worked with me on my soccer days, as an assistant coach. I used to play

right wing and he thought I could be a good runner and told me to start running to keep in shape

and active after I quit playing soccer. He also encouraged me into riding a bike, so we could ride

on weekends going up a famous hill in Rio that ends up at the bottom of the famous “Christ

Reedmeer” statue. Without noticing, I was doing duathlons (run-bike-run) and doing quite well

at my age group. The natural consequence then was to step up to triathlons and after being bitten

by the “tri bug”, I didn’t stop anymore!

Did you play sports as a child?

I was very active since a child. I started with martial arts in pre-school, but was never very

interested about it. I graduated to green belt in Tae-Kwan-Do but didn’t keep training. After

that I played basketball for a few years and was doing quite well. I am now 5’5’’ (1.67m) and

of course at some point my height was an issue, hahaha. When you look at “small” NBA players

that look tiny on TV, like Chris Paul, those are guys who are still six plus feet. So there were no

chances for the tiny G on the basketball courts. Living in Brazil where soccer is by far the

number one sport in the country, my next step was to start playing soccer and indoor soccer.


Those were one of the best years of my life and pretty much shaped me both as an athlete and as

a person!

How long have you been a professional

triathlete?

I qualified for my pro card in the middle of 2012

and didn’t take it till 2013. Unfortunately my

first two years as a pro triathlete didn’t unfold as

I wanted and I struggled a bit with injuries and a

few problems. When you step up to the pro

level it is not “one more step” from the age

group ranks. There’s quite a big gap, and if

you’re not able to be on the top of your ‘A’

game, things will definitely be rough! I embrace the challenge though, I did everything I could

to be healthy again and now I have to be patient to gradually become competitive again.

What are your goals within the sport?

I had a “late start” to professional triathlon, and that being

said, my main goal is to be competitive and able to race

professionally for many more years. Seeing guys winning

big races in their early 40’s in long courses, makes me wish

my body could hold the training and my mind could hold

the pressure to be able to do the same. I am truly

passionate about our sport and its lifestyle. Also being a

long course athlete, I have long term career goals of being

successful at the Ironman distance, to represent the Italian

National Course Team in European and World Long

Distance Championships and my team TD Rimini at

National and International level.

What do you need to do to reach your goal?

Comparing myself to the United States, Australian and other European triathletes, I haven’t gone

through the “natural system”, and by that I mean I didn’t race as a junior, then as U23 and so on.

Having those younger years of experience, definitely help you to become wiser and more mature

earlier. The best athletes are for sure the best decision makers. All kinds of choices regarding

choosing your coach, your schedule, the way you approach training, all these are key, but it takes

experience and maturity to make the correct choices. Wrong choices lead to lack of balance in

both your life as an athlete and as a person, and the negative consequences reflect directly on


your training and performance. The bar at professional triathlon is set very high and to be able to

be as competitive as you can you have to do the work and the hours, day in and day out, week in

and week out.

I think that right now, the first thing I need to start on the journey towards my big goals is

consistency. I am now very happy and satisfied with all the key choices that relate straight to

my training. If you’re training well and with consistency, performance will come with time. I

am working with a great coach Bella Bayliss. I have a good training structure when I’m at home

in Boulder and when I am away in Europe, Rimini in Italy and Lanzarote in Spain for the winter.

If I am able to do everything Bella is asking me and to stick 100% to her plan and stay healthy

while going through big training blocks, I am on the right track to reaching my goals.

Living in Bolder, do you get involved with the

local triathlon scene?

I have been in Boulder for two and a half years now,

and we’re such a fantastic athletic community in all

means. However, in my case, one of the mistakes I

did in my first two years here was to get “enchanted”

by being surrounded by so many fantastic groups and

athletes and try to do “a little bit of everything”.

Like I’ve said in one of the questions before, I wasn’t

a good decision maker. And that is my own fault

entirely.

Each Boulder training group has its own perks and

they’re all great, but we have to choose a plan and

stick to it. With my coach being based in Europe, I

am not doing as much group training as I used to do

before, but when possible and I have a similar

session. I do go for one or the other group swim, or

run.

Being committed to Bella’s training plan, I have been

pretty much doing 70% of my training on my own and meeting a few training partners for some

key sessions. We have been seeing a lot of improvements in all three sports since we started

2015. When training back in January together in Lanzarote and when home in Boulder, I just

want to keep the patterns and standards she wants.


Who is your mentor, or mentors, and how have they helped shape your life?

I would consider three people as mentors in my life.

The first one may sounds like a “cliché”, but it is my

dad. As my parent, of course he has built my character

and he’s the one I go to before I make any big decision

in my life. He always “has my back” and even though

he’s never had any connection with sports, he is very

supportive of my career as an athlete and helps in any

way he can, which for me, means a lot, really.

The second person I’d consider as a mentor is my

former soccer coach in Brazil. His name is Ricardo

Lima and we still communicate today. Working under

his guidance at his soccer squad, I’ve built not only my

main athletic abilities, but also that was where I

discovered that sports were my true passion. Looking

at the way he worked with all of us in the team, it

inspired me to pursue a degree in Exercise and Sports

Science and also chase my dreams as a professional

sportsman. He currently teaches Physical Education

for a public school in Brazil, and I am sure he is still influencing and inspiring those teens the

same way he did with me back in the day.

And finally, I can already say my coach Bella Bayliss is a mentor for me as well. Being herself

a 16 time Ironman Champion, could be inspiration enough, but she as a coach, is as fantastic as

she was an athlete. I’ve gone through some bad athlete-coach experiences, some of them truly

disappointing, however working now with Bella, I have pretty much erased all of them. When I

first came to her I was lacking confidence in the training process and was a bit lost on how to get

back on track. Bella keeps it pretty simple, like she says: “we don’t do bullshit training, you just

go out there every day, do the best you can do for that day, and repeat it all over again the next

day”. Her passion for long course and for the sport of triathlon, are truly inspiring and the way

she faces and embraces the challenges is contagious.

What do you do for fun that isn't part of triathlon?

A: When I am not training, travelling or racing, I try to spend as much time as I can with my

wife and family. Boulder has a lot of fun things to do outside of triathlon. I love to go hiking

with my wife and friends, watch games on TV when it’s NFL and NBA season, or just get a

cruiser bike and ride around Boulder without worrying about time or route. I’d love to play

some soccer too, but right now it’s too risky to get injured!


What does an average training week look like for you when in race season?

A: Doing 100% of Bella’s training program now, things have changed a bit compared to the

last two years. I am doing at least three sessions every day, if not four, and have been reaching

way more mileage than before. I am swimming between five to six times a week, riding four to

five times a week with some days being double ride days, with plenty of big gear/strength work,

and running also four to five times a week.

For those folks who analyse their weeks by hours, it has been ranging between 20-30 hours per

week. My body responds very well to volume rather than intensity and we’re starting to see

good improvements.

What are your favorite training sessions - Swim, Bike and Run?

A: On the swim, I like more endurance sets than speed work. Going back and forth between

strength plus endurance and speed, is challenging and fun. An example would be a session such

as this:

400 easy warm up

16 x 25’s

200 band + paddles

200 best you can

200 easy

(Three times)

Warm down

For the bike, my favourites are the hill repeats,

big gear slow cadence (55rpm) and long rides in

the Boulder Mountains, climbing up to Ward,

Nederland and Estes Park. You get up to almost

9000 feet and the views are most scenic!

Finally for the run, my favourite session is either a tempo run with three mi tempo at Teller

Farms, (one of the Boulder trails), or the 21-30 x 800’s on the track at Ironman pace with 200m

jog after the 800’s. Bella usually asks me to ride to and from the track at that session! It is

super hard but very rewarding once you finish it!


Tell us all about your bike?

I am currently riding a Cervelo P5 and I would like to take

this opportunity to say a big thanks to everybody in the

company, especially Leslie Summers who helped me to

get the bike as soon as possible when I needed it. I am a

small rider, 5’5”, (1.67cm), and I can tell with confidence

that very few frames in the market offer me a good fit for

a TT bike. The P5 is by far the fastest, more comfortable

and more aero frame I’ve ever ridden. It flies on the flats,

does a very good job going uphill and I had quite a few

ranges on my bike fit to find the best position for me

regarding aero x comfort. I ride the P5 Six frame, which

is Cervelo’s highest end on the P family, with their 3T “V

Bar” and this year I’ve switched from S Bend to Ski Bend

aerobars. Boulder based Retul fitter Ryan Ignatz and I

figured out the Ski Bends would be a better bet for this

frame in my case. It has Magura hydraulic brakes, which

are awesome and have super grip. I kept my Fizik Tritone saddle that has been working out so

well for me since Fizik launched it. It has a specific Tri/TT design and helped to open my hip

angle, allowing me a more aggressive/forward position.

My P5 is equipped with Shimano 11 speed DI2 electronic group. I was resilient for a while to

switch to electronic, but now I am in love with it. I ride a 53-39 1.65 Quarq Elsa power meter

crankset and this set was also recommended after careful research with Ryan during my bike fit.

Regarding wheels, I am also lucky to be able to keep working for this season with the Oregon

based company Rolf Prima Wheels, and switched from last year’s Ares 6 to a lower rim depth

profile Ares 4 Carbon Clincher. With the great majority of races being in hilly courses, I

decided to go with a more “all around” wheel set.

The 2015 Ares 4 are better than ever, combining incredible lightness with aero gains as well.

When my need is for flatter courses I will ride an Ares 8 on the back and that’s certainly a great

set up that allows me to perform at my full potential. Having the best equipment is a key to

perform your best and I am lucky to have companies like Cervelo and Rolf Prima helping me at

this stage in my career.

What is the most important piece of equipment you need to be successful?

In my opinion, the most important equipment for success is your mind. We are what we believe

we are, and no matter how fast or how fit you are, if you’re not able to control your mind and

your emotions, then you probably won’t be able to execute what you do in training on race day.

Success in triathlons is “measured” by your results. I know many athletes, and I include myself

here, who struggle to execute on race day what they do so well in training. Something that

seems simple, but sometimes it can be complicated. In the end, all that matters is how fast you


swim, bike and run towards that finish line, and if you’re not able to execute, you’re missing the

most important part of that big puzzle we call triathlon. Besides that, our discipline and

commitment are also related to the way our mind

performs. That being said, for me, the athlete’s mind is

the most important equipment for success!

What wouldn't people know about you?

This year I am racing for a good cause as well. I’ve

joined the Race2 Rebuild/Challenge America’s Team

and we have the goal to raise funds trough triathlon

racing for the Hurricane Sandy victims. Many of those

families affected still do not have their homes back.

We’ve chosen a few Challenge America’s races, where

people can race with us and help bring families home.

You can find more information on the link below:

http://www.race2rebuild.org/about-us/r2r-challenge-team/

And if you want to help me on my personal fundraising the link to donate is:

https://www.crowdrise.com/R2RChallengeTeam/fundraiser/guilhermeferreiracam

America has welcomed me and opened its doors for me, so I feel glad to be able to give

something back to the community and those who are in need. Please help us bring families back

home.

How can people connect with you?

I’d like to invite everybody to track my training, races and adventures around the world through

Product Review This review is an independent review.

ON Cloudrunner

I have been running fulltime in my new ON Cloudrunner shoes for the past three weeks and have

been amazed at how good these shoes are and how factual the claims ON have made in relation

to what these shoes can do.

The Cloudrunner has what ON calls “Cloud Tec” that allows cushioned landing and barefoot

take off. The cushioning is only active during landing, then locks and becomes firm for a

powerful push-off.

At first I was very sceptical about the shoe

and have carried out as many different run

sessions as possible in the past three weeks. I

really did try my best to find something that I

could complain about, but to be completely

honest, these are by far the best shoes I have

worn.

In the three weeks, I completed three long

runs over two hours, three brick sessions, three trail runs, two hill repeats, intervals on road and

grass and a treadmill session.


Being a triathlete, I am a big fan of the loop on the heal that allows you to put the shoe on faster.

Also being a triathlete, we all do crazy miles and we live on the edge of being healthy and being

injured and I am known for being an injury prone athlete, so this is why I will continue to wear

my ON Cloudrunner and will be happy to stick with only ON shoes whilst they continue to

produce quality shoes such as these.

But it is not only the shoe that I am impressed with. I have also been very impressed with

dealing with ON Australia, from our first conversation through to the fast delivery, everything

has been amazing. I would highly recommend ON to the point that I offered them free

advertisement in this magazine and on the Train Smooth Podcast.
