Book Description
Despite what you might have heard, triathlon running is not like typical running. The triathlon run comes after a swim and a bike, making training, pacing, and technique requirements very different from regular running. But this isn't what triathletes have been told! Fortunately, with the right kind of run training, the triathlon run doesn't have to be a long, painful slog with a stumble to the finish. "Triathlon Running Foundations" provides the specific information athletes need in order to feel strong for every step of the run, all the way to the finish. For anyone who has ever said they dread the run, can't seem to improve, get injured, or feel like they're "just not built to run," this book will be the solution! "Triathlon Taren" Gesell is a triathlete who has become known for his wildly popular YouTube channel, Instagram account, and podcast, where he shares tips, tricks, hacks, the latest scientific findings and time-tested knowledge to help age-groupers get to their start lines confident and their finish lines strong. Based in Winnipeg, Canada, Taren is also the head coach of TeamTrainiac.com, a training platform supporting a growing community of triathletes from all around the world.

80/20 Triathlon

Author: Matt Fitzgerald

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 352

Book Description
A breakthrough program for triathletes -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced -- showing how to balance training intensity to maximize performance -- from a fitness expert and elite coach. Cutting-edge research has proven that triathletes and other endurance athletes experience their greatest performance when they do 80 percent of their training at low intensity and the remaining 20 percent at moderate to high intensity. But the vast majority of recreational triathletes are caught in the so-called "moderate-intensity rut," spending almost half of their time training too hard--harder than the pros. Training harder isn't smarter; it actually results in low-grade chronic fatigue that prevents recreational athletes from getting the best results. In 80/20 Triathlon, Matt Fitzgerald and David Warden lay out the real-world and scientific evidence, offering concrete tips and strategies, along with complete training plans for every distance--Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman, and Ironman--to help athletes implement the 80/20 rule of intensity balance. Benefits include reduced fatigue and injury risk, improved fitness, increased motivation, and better race results.
