Are Cyclists Better Runners than RUNNERS?! With Jimmy Whelan

Jimmy Whelan’s career has come full circle. From injured runner to pro cyclist, then triathlon, and now back to running — full time.

In this episode, Jimmy breaks down how years of elite cycling built an engine that translated directly to running. Why the bike gives runners free aerobic gains. How he rebuilt his run safely after injury. And exactly how a 12-week block took him to a DEBUT 61:37 half marathon in Valencia — one of the fastest ever by an Australian.

We cover his training structure, treadmill threshold work, hills, volume progression, fueling lessons from pro cycling, and why runners are underusing the bike. A deep look at endurance, durability, and what happens when aerobic capacity meets smart execution.

A must-listen for runners, cyclists, and anyone chasing performance without breaking down.
