How to maximise your triathlon performance in less training time

Last week we had the honour of speaking to triathlon legend Michellie Jones about the importance of rest days and light training.  This week we chat to Taren Gesell, Founder and CEO of MOTTIV all about training smarter and maximising your performance in less training time. Two x Taryn’s on one podcast - I mean what could go wrong! Taren shares his 4 pillars that are important for great training outcomes as a triathlete: Training in the right intensity so you can adapt from the session Balance - balancing training with life, but also ensuring your body is ready to absorb the training and maintaining health through the process Strength training - a key pillar to any triathletes programming  Nutrition - and using it to enhance training sessions He’s a firm believer that more training hours does not equal better performance.  You don’t have to train 20 hours a week, you just need to train smarter. One of the key metrics he likes to use to ensure you’re absorbing training and have the balance right, rather than seeking diminishing returns is Heart Rate Variability (HRV). How do you track HRV? What information does it tell us?
