Structuring A Training Program On Just 6-7hrs A Week

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.

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.
