Many men and women who engage in regular, intense exercise such as running, competitive swimming, and cycling have “marginal or inadequate iron status”. Possible explanations include increased gastrointestinal blood loss after running, a greater turnover of red blood cells, and the fact that red blood cells within the foot can rupture when you pound the [...]

This one is best done on a fixed trainer (ie. Not rollers – but if you can do it on rollers -you’re crazy awesome- or would like to see someone doing this on rollers, check the comments) and is a great way to break up an indoor ride. There’s not much to explain, other than [...] Sometimes when you hit the water for training you may lack some motivation to put the time in. When that happens it’s good to have a swim set that you enjoy and can fall back on. Of course, this only works if you have control of your own workouts. Sometimes, however, you may be feeling [...] If you are new to the world of long distance triathlon, or simply have incredibly robust skin, you may not be intimately familiar with wonderful anti-friction products such as BodyGlide. You can apply this stuff anywhere and it will prevent fabric-on-skin or skin-on-skin chaffing (‘chub-rub’ as we affectionately call it). Most people use it on race [...] Going back to the topic of consistency with this short tip. A good rule of thumb is to never let three days go by where you haven’t trained one of the three sports. Being consistent in training as whole is great, but being consistent across swimming, biking, and running is also very important. Keeping the [...] Coaches are important and many athletes have one…sometimes even two that work together. They help take you to new levels and they help see your weaknesses from a different perspective. Generally, a coach is not only giving you a training plan, but they’ll also be following up with how each particular day or week progressed, making further adjustments [...] What is your underlying motivation for doing well in triathlon? Material aspects of competition, such as prizes, trophies, money? More immaterial, egocentric aspects of competitive events, such as recognition and respect from peers? Or how about the desire for self-development, and to challenge yourself? Sports psychology studies emphasize that athletes should be encouraged to improve performance using [...] Your first transition is usually the most hectic and crowded. Depending on what you’re trying to get out of the race you can attack T1 two different ways. Go through with the intent of getting out as quickly as possible, or use it as a chance to regroup and get ready for the long ride ahead. [...] Your feet are a very important but generally neglected part of your body. We may get leg massages but often don’t do a thing to loosen up our feet. Achy heels in the morning can be the initial signs of plantar fasciitis, and you want to do all that you can to avoid that. First start [...] This drill is from Matt Fitzgerald’s ‘Brain Training for Runners‘. A great book. Lace the fingers of your two hands together and make a big circle with your arms at shoulder level, like you are simulating a basketball hoop for someone else to toss a ball through. Run 100m at a moderately fast temp with your [...] |
