Triathlon Training in Switzerland

This was a “scientific” test. I wanted to see if the urban legend of music helping speed had some real basis. The test consisted in two series of 10 intervals of 250-260m with 260m recover; first ten, with music off; second ten, with music on.

Initial conditions were to try to run the intervals as equals as possible to the others. The watch light stayed off. In between the two sets I recovered a bit more, in order to have (almost) the same initial conditions.

There are a lot of evident possible bugs I see in this “experiment”; among the others the main one is that the intervals with music on are after the others, when I was already half-tired.
