In triathlon, we must constantly weigh up the risk of our choices with the potential reward. Is it really worth risking injury with a sprint session? Or haring downhill in a race? This episode talks you through different considerations to make and some scenarios where it may be worth taking a higher level of risk.

If you're a triathlete, the chances are you're following a training plan. However, there will come a time when it's not appropriate to keep blindly following your plan. I talk through some of these scenarios in this week's episode, as well as how to identify signs of overtraining, and how to get back on the wagon when you fall off.
