Jimmy Whelan’s career has come full circle. From injured runner to pro cyclist, then triathlon, and now back to running — full time.
In this episode, Jimmy breaks down how years of elite cycling built an engine that translated directly to running. Why the bike gives runners free aerobic gains. How he rebuilt his run safely after injury. And exactly how a 12-week block took him to a DEBUT 61:37 half marathon in Valencia — one of the fastest ever by an Australian.
We cover his training structure, treadmill threshold work, hills, volume progression, fueling lessons from pro cycling, and why runners are underusing the bike. A deep look at endurance, durability, and what happens when aerobic capacity meets smart execution.
A must-listen for runners, cyclists, and anyone chasing performance without breaking down.

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.
