From all the way in Australia, we have the pleasure of chatting with coach Nick Carling. Nick is the head coach of Team Carling and an accomplished triathlete and runner in his own right. Nick talks about his training methods and using the Maffetone Method, an approach that incorporates a heart rate formula and says "go slower to get faster."
