Coach James Loaring - Challenge Roth Training Series - Training strategies for Challenge Roth! - a podcast by The Pacing and Racing Podcast

Hey guys and Welcome to the Pacing & Racing Podcast. The Canadian Triathlon Podcast Made In Mind for the Age Group Triathletes.
Today we have Coach James Loaring; Head coach of the LPC Triathlon Club on the show to help us on Episode Number 6 of the Road to Roth Training Series!
So for the first time listeners, a bit of a backstory here with the Road to Roth Series – at the beginning of August I announced that I’ll be doing my first full distance triathlon at Challenge Roth in 2020, and since then, I found that a lot of listeners were actually on a similar path; whether it was with Roth or another race; but they too were on their crazy journey to their first full distance triathlon and looking forward to hearing content specific to the full distance!
Of course, never having actually done the distance before, I figured everyone could benefit the most in a series where I interview top professional triathletes and coaches that will be able to provide a ton of training tips specific to the full distance as well as give us the motivation and insight we need to help us maximize our performances come race day!
Now to introduce James, he is the President and head coach of LPC dating all the way back to 2007 – and has since been an integral part of the numerous success stories throughout the team.
The team has won the Triathlon Ontario Club Championships the last 5 of the 6 years, and won the inaugural Triathlon Canada National Club Championships.
James has coached many ITU and Long Course athletes to continue onto successful professional careers as well as stood as the head coach for Team Canada’s Age Grouper ITU World Triathlon Championships over multiple years!
James is a perfect fit for this episode because much like many listeners to this podcast, he knows the daily struggles for age groupers to balance quality training and recovery with work life, family life and social life! In today’s episode we’ll hear all about Team LPC, what the benefits are training apart of a team environment, and what we can do as age groupers to best prepare for a full iron distance race such as Challenge Roth!
I am really excited for this one guys and I could keep going on all day, but let’s hear it all from James himself
