Greg Doucette, the IFBB Pro fitness coach, recently took to his official YouTube channel and shared a video where he was seen taking up peculiar questions from fitness enthusiasts and answering them. He captioned it, “Why would you ask this?” Having trained for the triathlon and doing an incredible job in it, he was asked, “Greg. Tell us about how you train for your swift races!”

To the question, he answered, “Well, how I train for them is I actually do the races. Literally doing competitive races about three times a week, and on the days I’m not racing, I do the zone-2 cardio.” He further added that for his recovery days, he spends less time on the cycle, relaxing his muscles.

The IFBB Pro fitness coach is further asked another question: “How can I do proper cardio when my legs are constantly sore & weak from heavy squat and deadlift sessions.” To this, Greg Doucette advises that it is not important to go extremely heavy on your squats and deadlifts all the time. If one goes heavy all the time, it will be impossible to recover from the training. 

He suggests that it is always better to workout more frequently and take up less volume, which prevents you from getting intense sores and allows you to work on the basic cardio, which is an absolutely important part of working out.
