Q&A #46 - Rest interval duration and body composition benchmarks for elite and age-group triathletes

Q&A #46 - Rest interval duration and body composition benchmarks for elite and age-group triathletes

• Should rest intervals be a fixed time or based on getting heart rate down to a certain level? 
• What are good target durations for rest intervals or good work:rest ratios for various types of workouts?
• What is the body composition of elite triathletes like, and should age-groupers also use that as a benchmark?
