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.

Today on the podcast, we are joined for a second time by Ryan Worn. Ryan came on the podcast recently to chat about economy and efficiency and this is part 2 of that conversation. He has completed a PhD in exercise science, focusing specifically on economy, efficiency, and fatigue.

In this episode we focus more on the topics of efficiency, fatigue and delaying fatigue, and then getting into the one of the major ways that you can do that, which is strength and conditioning.

Ryan currently works out of Federation University in Ballarat, if you’d like to follow him you can at @fedunisport.
