Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice

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.

Two identical triathletes take on a training program.

The first does mostly easy training with some high-intensity sessions.

The other does mostly easy training with threshold workouts and minimal high-intensity sessions.

Who comes out on top?

That’s the question we aim to answer today.

The two examples provided are polarised and pyramidal training models.

And there’s a huge debate about which approach is superior.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.

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 make to get more out of himself and get some EPIC PB's in the half ironman.

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.

And for many of you out there, you only have as little as 6-7 hours of training time available each week.

So what should you do? Just give up on your goals because you can’t compete with how much everyone else trains?

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: if you enjoy our podcasts and find them helpful, the best thing you can do for us is to share the podcast on your social media or with an endurance friend who you think might also like it. 

And of course, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.

Everyone wants to know what they’re capable of for their race.

What time do you think I can do?
What pace can I expect to run at?

Every sport has a key metric, golfers measure their handicap, marathon runners track their pace per km, and cyclists, we measure FTP.

For some reason, FTP is still a divided topic among the triathlon and cycling world, but it shouldn’t be.

FTP is undoubtedly one of the most useful metrics to use and worth basing your entire training program around.

But as we’ll explain today, we have to be careful, as useful as it is, it’s just one metric, and doesn’t tell the full story.

So in this episode, we’re going to reveal a 28-day program that will skyrocket your FTP, what you need to pay attention to, and the mistakes you need to avoid.

Whether you're a pure cyclist or a triathlete improving your FTP is the goal, so this episode is for you.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the podcast for 2024!

It’s a special episode today as it’s our 200th episode.

Our aim for today’s episode is to pack the most amount of gold nuggets we can fit into 60 minutes.

This journey of podcasting has resulted in tonnes of research from us, researching guests, interviewing them, the conversations before and after the recordings, new training and racing science, episode preparation - and over the journey we have what feels like an infinite list of wisdom, so we want to give you as much of it in one key episode as possible.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Huge episode for you today, we’re announcing the GIANT giveaway winner, someone is walking away with over a $7000 prize pack, we’ve got holiday training to discuss, and then today’s main topic, is something fundamental that we see a lot of cyclists getting wrong..

Because riding a bike is SO much more than just pushing the pedals as hard as you can.

There are a bunch of fundamentals that if you’re not doing, you’re losing power and more importantly speed on the bike.

Basically the more inefficient you’re riding the more effort you’re putting in for less reward. 

Which is really the total opposite of what we want to be doing.

So today, we’re taking you through the top must-know skills for cycling, and these apply from beginners all the way to advanced cyclists who are still making some fundamental mistakes.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.

In this episode, we sit down with Pro Cyclist Brendan 'Trekky' Johnstone for a comprehensive breakdown of his intense season. We interviewed Trekky at the start of this season and he had some big aspirations, but the season went far from what he hoped.

And halfway through the year, he almost quit completely. 

From standout performances to tough moments, Trekky shared an honest insight into the year, the lessons learned about himself, and the lifetime Grand Prix series. 

This is a must-listen episode for every athlete, as his year was an exact representation of the hardest parts of the sport that we'll most likely face at some point.

Tune in for an honest and inspiring conversation about the highs, lows, and the road ahead in Trekky's cycling career.

We had 21 athletes compete in a Half Ironman recently, and almost every single one did a PB.

Was this because of our elite coaching?

Maybe a little, but it was mostly because the swim distance was cut short.

Did athletes still PB their bikes and run legs? Absolutely!

But it raises a really important point in triathlon races, are PB’s important, and how do we aim for one when there are so many varying factors?

We believe it’s absolutely worthwhile aiming for a PB, but there’s a lot you need to consider to get it right.

So we’re going to go through everything you need to know about how to PB your next triathlon.

As always, this episode is brought to you by our proud sponsor Giant Australia. For all your bike, training, and racing needs, ride life, ride Giant.
