Nike released the Pegasus Plus 2 on Nike.com on 3 September 2026, the second generation of its ZoomX-cushioned tempo trainer. It’s not a race shoe — it sits above the standard Pegasus as an everyday-plus option with race-shoe foam in a more durable daily-training package. What’s Changed Curved, visible Air Zoom unit — Nike calls…
The run leg is where poor bra support gets punished hardest — you’re already fatigued from the swim and bike, and every stride compounds hours of accumulated movement rather than starting fresh. Getting this right isn’t a minor comfort issue; research links inadequate support to real physical consequences, and getting it wrong on race day…
Most triathletes buy one pair of running shoes and run every session in them until they fall apart. A proper rotation — two or three pairs used for different purposes — reduces injury risk, extends the useful life of your race-day shoes, and lets you match cushioning and stack height to what each session actually…
Triathletes juggle three different “threshold” numbers — FTP on the bike, threshold pace on the run, and CSS in the pool — and it’s tempting to assume fitness in one predicts fitness in the others. It doesn’t, and understanding why is the difference between training zones that actually fit you and zones borrowed from the…
If you’ve spent enough time around open water swimming and trail running content, you’ve probably run into swimrun without quite knowing what separates it from triathlon. It’s one of the fastest-growing endurance formats in the sport, and enough of the skills overlap with triathlon that it’s worth understanding — even if you never enter a…
HOKA’s Stinson has always sat between road trainer and trail shoe — one shoe for mixed-terrain athletes who want road comfort with enough grip for gravel and packed trails. The Stinson 8 is now officially out, and it’s the lightest version of the shoe yet. What’s New The 2026 update brings a newly formulated dual-density…
Carbon-plated “super shoes” like the new On Cloudboom Strike 2 routinely cost £200-£270 and wear out in 100-150 miles. For a triathlete already spending on a wetsuit, a bike, and race entries, that’s a genuine budget question — and the honest answer is: it depends on what you’re racing. What a Super Shoe Actually Does…
On’s flagship marathon racer just got its first major update in two years, and demand outstripped supply within a day. The On Cloudboom Strike 2 and its LightSpray sibling launched in the UK on 30 July 2026 at £230 — and as of writing, every size across all three colourways shows “no items left in…
The ASICS GT-1000 15 Has Launched The ASICS GT-1000 15 is now available, and it turns out our preview coverage called it correctly: this is an iterative refinement of the GT-1000 14 rather than a ground-up redesign. It keeps the same accessible price point and stability-focused ride that has made the GT-1000 line a go-to…
Why Triathletes Get Blisters More Than Other Athletes Triathlon has a unique combination of blister risk factors: a swim exit leaves feet wet, transition means pulling socks and shoes on over damp skin, race-day adrenaline masks early hot-spot pain until it’s already a problem, and plenty of athletes end up racing in shoes or socks…
