Data Driven Triathlon Training or Train By Feel? With Gerard Donnelly

Using data to track your triathlon training is incredibly easy with the technology available today.  But tracking is one thing, understanding the data and using it to make better decisions is a different story.    Joining me on the podcast is triathlon coach Gerard Donnelly from Trivelo Coaching. He’s been coaching athletes for 35 years and has seen technology evolve over that time. He shares his expertise on:    Why you should use data for training How do you test your fitness and how often should you do it? What metrics should we focus on? What technology is worth investing in? Most importantly, what do you do with the data once you have it? Should you learn how to train by feel and how do you do that? Is there a sweet spot between data-driven training and training by feel? Any advice for the female triathlete who may wake up and feel absolutely on fire one day, then completely rubbish the next?   LINKS To Connect with Gerard at TriVello Coaching: Website: trivelocoaching.com.au Instagram: @trivelocoaching Listen to the Train Smarter, Race Faster Podcast   Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Start working on your nutrition now with my Triathlon Nutrition Kickstart course: dietitianapproved.com/kickstart It’s for you if you’re a triathlete and you feel like you’ve got your training under control and you’re ready to layer in your nutrition.
