Summer means more races in the Australian Triathlon Calendar. And your season can either be a big pass or fail depending on whether you get your training and racing schedule right. So even if your big 'A Race' isn't coming up in the next few months, it's important to plan how you can use all the available sprints, olympic or even 70.3 races to your advantage.

In this episode we talk about everything you need to know in order to train and race to the best of your ability over a sustained period:

• How many and which specific races to pick
• What the best training schedule should look like
• The big mistake triathletes make which can derail their season
• How much time you should spend on each discipline (it's not what you think!)
• Our type of race plan that will make you perform better
• Why squad training is probably holding you back 

The Get Fast Podcast is brought to you by TriVelo Coaching, where we help triathletes and cyclists like you, Train Smarter to Race Faster. You are joined as always by your hosts, Australian Ironman Champion and 4 x Nationals Masters Cycling Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son Jordan Donnelly.
