Over the last 16 weeks, we’ve coached an athlete who literally travels around the globe for work. He’s in 3 different countries, U.K, America, and Australia, at any given time in any given month.
This makes training for an Ironman quite difficult... Or so you’d think!
Not only has he been able to train efficiently over the last few months, he’s been able to improve and then some.
Tune in as we track Jeff's progress.

Welcome back to another case study episode where we review one of our athletes and break down exactly what we did with them to get an improvement, PB or great race result!
In today’s case study is 30-year-old athlete Dayne from Melbourne. Like most athletes his goal was simple, he just wanted to improve and race better.
The goal is simple but that path to get there isn’t always.
Dayne was already an above-average athlete, he’d done a 4:47 half ironman before coming to us, and he could run in the 1:30s for a half marathon.
So as always, we’ll take you through the key changes he needed to ..read more

How should I train if I only have limited time available each week?
We know the perfect training program would probably mean you train 15-20 hours a week, but for most age groupers this just isn’t realistic.

Absolutely not.
There are ways to make it work, and we’re going to identify the key things you can do in today’s episode.
As always, please remember our unwritten rule ..read more
