With under 20 weeks left to roll until race day I thought it timely to share my most read blog post of the last 12 months. Clearly, understanding the compounding gains principle is top of mind for people 😎

Happy training everyone!

Training is essential—but it shouldn’t dominate your life. Integrate training into your lifestyle, instead of making your life revolve around your workouts.

To find the right amount of training time each week, follow this process:

• Understand your weekly schedule: Work, family commitments, social activities, priorities, etc.

• Determine your available training hours: Based on your schedule and priorities, estimate how many hours you can consistently dedicate to training each week.

• Start with manageable goals: Plan training sessions that fit within this time frame, allowing room for flexibility and recovery.

• Reassess regularly: Life changes, so revisit your schedule every few weeks to adjust training time as needed.

Integrate training into your lifestyle. When training adjusts to your daily demands—work, family, and rest—you’re more likely to stay consistent, enjoy the process, and perform better in the long run.

Sustainable progress comes from smart training that supports your life, not competes with it.

I’ve had a bunch of questions from people this week mainly asking how much training is required to knock over Coast Longest Day.

I think part of the answer lies in what your goals for the day are and another part is around your training age and racing history. Not to mention what other commitments you have in your life!

That being said I thought it would be interesting to share a small insight into the training hours ticked off by those I coached for Longest Day this year. Their finish times ranged from a touch under 12 hours to a touch over 14.5 hours.

-The average weekly volume in the 10 months leading up to the race was between 9 and 12.5 hours.

-The biggest training week was between 19 and 22 hours. These were generally completed around 5 weeks out from race day.

Happy training or resting 😎

This is by far and away my most read blog post recently.

As an endurance sports coach, I often emphasise the importance of patience and consistency in an athlete's journey. Just like compounding interest in a term deposit with the bank, the concept of compounding gains holds immense value in the realm of endurance sports...

Being a coach is a privilege.

As I reflect on another I’m incredibly thankful for every athlete who has trusted me to guide them on their path to chasing their goals and dreams.

Your trust and dedication inspire me every day. It’s an honour to witness your hard work, resilience, growth and achievement 😊

Tip #4 Get your gear checks out of the way early!

Minimise race week stress and get your gear checks done early if you haven’t already 👊

With the rolling around I thought I’d start rolling out a few tips for those racing 😀

#1 Don’t try new sh*t on race day!

You’ve done all the hard work, don’t sabotage your race by trying new stuff on race day. One of the keys to success is fuelling and hydrating appropriately. If you still haven’t settled on your plan you’ve still got a few weeks to test. 👍
