Connor Mercer on 3am run sessions to balance being a medical doctor and a top AG athlete!
Description
This week we are joined by top SA long distance AG athlete Connor Mercer.
Connor is a medical doctor, currently doing his community service year in rural Eastern Cape, where he walks a tightrope balancing a very busy job in a place without heaps of triathlon facilities, and racing at the front pack of age-group racing.
We chat about some of the crazy sessions he’s done in his time to accommodate his work and competitive racing, including a 3am long run. We speak about how Connor managed to train for Ironman NMB without direct access to a pool, yet still managed a 2nd place in his AG. He tells us about his connection to Italy, and how he went 8:42 over the full distance there last year.
