Still, Spring weather can be as changeable as it is promising, the days are still short and sometimes the dreaded turbo trainer is [...]

Many triathletes probably think they already spend enough time in the water improving their swimming technique but how about clocking up a few more hours in the pool working on your running?

At the beginning of the 2010 triathlon season Alistair Brownlee was forced to take a long break from running because of stress fracture. Despite [...]

At the beginning of 2010’s triathlon season I raced at Grendon Triathlon. My toes froze. My feet were so cold that when I put my running shoes on I didn’t feel the tongue was twisted and rubbing up a wonderful blister until after [...]
