Aero Secrets for Triathlon: Get Faster Without Working Harder

Coach Chris Newport interviews fellow Coach Jason, who shares his journey of getting faster on the bike—without getting any fitter. Discover how he became 60 watts more efficient through aerodynamic tweaks and smart upgrades that any athlete can implement.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What clue tipped Jason off that he could be faster—without training harder
 • The eye-opening stat that changed how he thought about riding into the wind
 • How one small gear upgrade can help you gain a full mile per hour
 • Why your clothing might be sabotaging your speed
 • A simple race-day ritual that helped him reduce drag (and raised a few eyebrows)
 • The under-the-radar gear swap that gave him a measurable wattage boost
 • How a hydration setup can either help—or hurt—your aerodynamics
 • When it actually makes sense to break out of aero position
• The often-overlooked maintenance trick that could be costing you speed
• An affordable upgrade that delivers the look (and benefits) of a full disc wheel
• Why raw power isn’t the full story when it comes to cycling speed
• How focusing on the right things can keep you grounded—even when conditions throw a curveball

Spoiler alert: it’s not just about what you can do on the bike—it’s about what you should do to make sure you’re ready to run strong off it.
