Being a triathlete takes time. Being a parent takes even more. So can you really be both? Absolutely! Coaches and busy parents Katrine Trolle and Brady Hoover join the podcast to share their practical tips for balancing training with the demands of family life. From school, homework, and playdates to finding time for those important workouts, they share strategies for fitting triathlon into a busy family schedule without missing the moments that matter most. They also dive into the pieces of training that can easily get pushed aside when life gets busy, including strength, mobility, recovery, and nutrition. Plus, they tackle one of the biggest challenges of all: race day. Katrine and Brady share how to plan ahead, communicate with your family, and set everyone up for a successful race day so you can focus on doing your job when it's time to race. Being a parent and a triathlete doesn't have to be an either-or and with a little planning, flexibility, and the right mindset, you can make both work.

This is a great look at what happens when the right training, a strong coach-athlete relationship, and a determined athlete come together.

There’s no age limit on triathlon and getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop getting faster.

They cover the key areas that become increasingly important over time, including strength and mobility, recovery, nutrition, and adapting training to meet your changing needs. Kurt and Kathy also discuss race-day expectations and how to approach competition with confidence. The sport of triathlon continues to evolve, and so does the athlete lifecycle.
