Ben Wallis | Triathlon Dad 🇦🇺

1. Communicate, plan and compromise with my wife. She always knows my training plan, and we split our training time as evenly as we can, because her training counts too.

2. Training happens when it can. 4am alarms, 5am starts, lunch break sessions. If it fits, it happens.

3. Make training social. Easy runs are with my wife when possible (she gets someone to push her, I get someone to listen to me yap 😅), and catch-ups with mates are usually a workout too, it’s good to have friends with common goals!

4. Bring the kids. Pram runs, home gym sessions + a 4yo singing “lets it go” or “Golden” or a swim session while they splash. Training and family time don’t have to compete.

5. Prep the night before. Gear, snacks and outfit are laid out, ready to grab and go.

6. Don’t punish a missed session. Between family, a business and a 9-5, I’ll miss one here or there. Control what I can, accept what I can’t. There’s always tomorrow.
