Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice TriVelo Coaching

One of the biggest mistakes we see in athletes is they are rushing to get ready for a race, and they are doing it without an optimal level of base fitness.

Majority of athletes that come to us are very fit, much fitter than the average person. But does being fit and decently trained mean you have a good base?

No. In our experience, most athletes have a much lower base than what is necessary.

So how do you base train properly and set up the rest of your season for the most success?

If you do this right, you will have the ON season of your life.

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.
