Get Fast Podcast - Triathlon, Ironman & Cycling Coaching Advice

Holiday training sets up the whole season. Get it right and you start ahead. Get it wrong and you spend months fixing it. This episode breaks down how to train through the holidays without losing fitness or burning out. How to add volume without piling on intensity. How to protect consistency, recovery, and family time. And how to avoid the classic mistakes that leave athletes cooked by January. We cover clear strategies for both hemispheres, including winter training indoors, mid-season summer racing, and how to exit the break fitter, fresher, and motivated for what’s next.

Three TriVelo athletes became Masters World Champions, and this episode breaks down exactly how they did it. We start with Joe Spano, who once asked us why he couldn’t win a single race. Seven years later, after resilience, detail, crashes, setbacks, and a total rebuild of how he trains, he became Time Trial World Champion by five seconds. You’ll even hear the raw phone call he made moments after crossing the line. We also cover the road race victories from Tim and Al — two athletes who committed to a plan, fixed their biggest weaknesses, and delivered when it mattered. A huge result for the team, years in the making.
