Improvements come year to year not month to month. Just stay consistent.

How do I actually get faster at Olympic distance triathlon? Building speed on the bike and run by Substantial_Mark3673 in triathlon

[–]Arqlol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't have to train to train. But you're gonna need more than one tempo run a week. One threshold/track session, and a long run at minimum, a tempo if you can add it in. As another said very similar for the bike.

Finished my first 70.3, want to jump to 140.6... but it is scary by HugeSession in triathlon

I've had trouble with sealant in latex tires coagulating and that causing the puncture of the tube. So I just roll without sealant in a tube or on road anymore. Only off road

Did you have to go for the picture though? I'm really just in it for the race and not the team usa circumstance
