The do-it-all run session for triathlon
  Fartlek running originated in Finland in the 1930s and has been used by countless runners and, more recently, multisport athletes ever since.   The basic translation of fartlek is ‘play with speed’, with the aim being to mix your pace within the session but without stopping like you might during an interval session.   What are the benefits of fartleks for triathlon?...
Free 3-month 70.3 training plan
  So, you’re going to do a 70.3/half-Ironman/middle-distance triathlon. Maybe you’re stepping up after racing short course for a few years. Or maybe you’re dropping back down after having completed an Ironman. Whatever your reason, it’s time to make sure you’re ready for the 1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21.1km run, which make up the 70.3 triathlon.   The 70.3 training plan...

The benefits of training indoors all-year round
  Indoor training in spring and summer? Really? Is that even a thing? As the many Zwift users around the globe would testify, it is indeed – and an increasingly popular option at that.   And one I can, at first reluctantly, but now wholeheartedly, agree with after becoming rather cojoined with the Wattbike Atom. I’m using it for a book I’m...
How to train and prepare for your first Ironman swim
  Adrenalin-fuelled triathletes tread the open water, readying for the start of the famous Ironman 3.8km swim that begins their epic challenge. It’s the spectacle that draws so many of us to Ironman racing.   Whatever your standard, the aim is to get through the Ironman swim efficiently, but delivering your best performance takes the right mix of prep, attitude and kit....
Why is my heart rate high on easy runs?
  To work towards an answer, there are a few key questions that might prove useful here. Ask yourself, is your heart rate higher than normal? If so, then there could be a few explanations.   Illness can often drive up heart rate even if you're unaware that your body is fighting something. Fatigue and a lack of sleep can also mean...
What is vVO2 and how is it beneficial for triathlon?
  Having a high VO2 max is one of the most quoted markers of endurance performance. VO2 denotes volume of oxygen. Vis-à-vis, VO2 max describes the maximum volume of oxygen an individual can process.   A high VO2 max is a good thing because it means you can transport more energy to your muscles when exercising.   Another strong marker of performance in...

Why do I get lower back pain from running?
  Lower back pain (LBP) represents the most common musculoskeletal condition in both the general population and in sports, however the prevalence and incidence of LBP among runners is low compared to the general population (Maselli et. al., 2020).   This lower incidence and prevalence of LBP among runners may mean that running is 'protective' against LBP. Let me explain further…   Why...
What is a good running pace?
  As a coach for run training app Runna, I'm often asked ‘what is a good running pace?’ It's a difficult question to give a straight answer to as there are lots of variables which will affect our running pace.

You can develop speed, power, endurance, strength, threshold, muscle tone and lose unhealthy body...
What makes triathlon's strongest runners so fast?
  Different athletes have differing running mechanics, but at the end of the day, the goal is to run with as little effort as we can while being as efficient as possible.
