This is what Mario told us before leaving to compete in the Series Mundiales de Triatlón 2019.

Mario, what is your day-to-day life like during the competition months?

There is a big difference between training periods away from a competition and weeks of competition. Normally a normal week, like the last few weeks, is almost 30 hours or 30 hours of training a week, 3 sessions or even four sessions a day. And they are weeks of accumulating volume, building up intensity, and taking advantage of training because at the end of the day in races you need to have the background and to have worked on the race rhythms and the day to day is to wake up, train, eat, rest, eat, train and so on day by day. In the end we don't stop any day, we don't have a rest day and we make the most of the day, luckily the weather has been very good, and the days are longer, we have more daylight hours than in winter and this allows you to stretch a bit, if you start training early, If you start training early, you can do a last session at the end of the day and this way you don't have to accumulate so many training sessions and you have more time to rest in between, but it's a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week routine, because as we said, it's not just the 5 or 6 hours you dedicate to training a day, but what you do around this training that allows you to continue day after day, resting, taking care of yourself, eating well, everything is part of the work,

With these arduous workouts, to make it to the end of the day What is your coffee routine?

Usually in the morning coffee with milk or Americano, before the last training session or after lunch an espresso or cortado.
