Thinking about racing XTERRA but worried it might derail your Ironman training?

In this video, Coach Andy breaks down whether triathletes should include XTERRA in their season—and how off-road triathlon can either complement or conflict with your Ironman or 70.3 prep.

We’ll look at the impact of mountain biking and trail running on endurance development, aerobic conditioning, injury risk, and skill transfer.

We’ll also unpack how XTERRA racing affects your pacing, fueling, recovery, and mental approach—especially for athletes chasing long-course goals like Ironman Australia, 70.3 Worlds, or Kona qualification.
