Description

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 this episode, we break down the worst triathlon and endurance advice floating around:
•⁠  ⁠The obsession with Zone 2 & 80/20 training
•⁠  ⁠Last-minute carb-loading myths
•⁠  ⁠Random “pro tips” in race week chaos
•⁠  ⁠Why listening to non-coaches ruins performance
•⁠  ⁠The truth about nutrition, sodium, and pacing

Plus, Gerard shares his gratitude 4 weeks post-op and I reflect on my last long run before the marathon.
