Should The Age Group Athlete Try The ‘Norwegian’ Method?

A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly. In today’s episode, Lucy Charles shatters the Kona course record and blows us away with a shock win; Ironman is rivalling the PTO with a new racing schedule and we dissect the Norwegian training method to pick out the parts that you can do in your own training as an age grouper, and warn you of the parts you should avoid.  We can learn a lot from the pros, but we shouldn’t always copy the pros. So in this episode, we’ll take you through all the do’s and don’ts.
