Why Triathletes Run Out of Time Training For a 70.3 Ironman

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.

In this episode, we look into the inspiring journey of a 38-year-old from Houston, Texas, who's six months into training for his first 70.3 triathlon — the Oregon 70.3 in July 2025.

Having never done a triathlon before, he started with minimal swimming and cycling experience but embraced the idea that "you can't expedite fitness."
