Training Less for Better Results [CASE STUDY]

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. Join us as we dive into a unique case study where athlete and coach navigate the delicate balance of pushing limits while honoring constraints.  In this episode, we delve into the case study of Fiona, an already seasoned endurance athlete seeking to conquer the Ironman once again after two decades.  From juggling a busy job and family responsibilities to squeezing in early morning training sessions, Fiona's determination actually needed pulling back as we aimed to train less for better results, and hopefully an Ironman World Champs qualifier.
