	Description:		Q&A #20 - Testing for half and full distance triathlon: are typical 20-minute tests relevant, and are there better options? How relevant are typical field tests (20-minute bike and run Time Trials, 400 + 200 m Critical Swim Speed test) for half and full Ironman athletes? How skewed are these tests by athletes' anaerobic capacity? Can and should Muscular Endurance be tested? What is the role of race intensity training, if it isn't to improve threshold or VO2max? How important is VO2max (aerobic capacity) anyway for long distance triathlon?
