Run45minBeginnerSession Overview Rowing is one of the few cross-training options that genuinely rivals swim/bike/run for full-body aerobic demand, while putting almost no impact through your joints. It’s a useful off-season addition if you’re managing a running niggle, want extra aerobic volume without extra running load, or simply want variety from the usual three disciplines. What…
2XU built the Light Speed React alongside long-course pros and put it through wind tunnel testing in both Australia and the UK across five prototype iterations — the kind of development process usually reserved for far pricier suits. It’s now 2XU’s flagship aero trisuit for triathletes racing long course. Key Specs (Verified) UK price: £215…
Form Nutrition has added Pureblend to its protein range — a stripped-back, unflavoured version of its pea and brown rice vegan protein blend, sitting alongside the already-reviewed Performance Protein and Superblend Protein. The pitch is simple: no added flavouring, sweeteners or greens blend, just the base protein for anyone who wants full control over what…
Run45minBeginnerSession Overview A low-intensity session combining an easy run with targeted yoga-based mobility work, designed for the off-season when the priority shifts from building fitness to addressing the tightness and asymmetries that a full race season builds up. Suitable for any level — this is about movement quality, not effort. What You’ll Need A yoga…
Wrist-based optical heart rate has improved enormously, but it still lags a chest strap for accuracy during high-intensity intervals, cold-water swims and anything involving significant wrist or arm movement. Polar’s H10 has been the reference chest strap for years, and it remains one of the most recommended accuracy upgrades for triathletes serious about heart rate…
Power-based training has been standard on the bike for years, but running power has taken longer to catch on — partly because, unlike a bike power meter, there’s no simple mechanical measurement (force through a crank) to rely on. Stryd’s foot pod remains the most established running power meter on the market, and its wind-adjusted…
Every GPS sports watch roundup on this site covers Garmin, COROS and Polar — but a growing number of triathletes now run a dedicated recovery wearable alongside their training watch, worn 24/7 for sleep, HRV and strain tracking that a bulky multisport watch isn’t built for. WHOOP and Oura are the two names that dominate…
Bounce management gets overlooked in triathlon kit lists that focus on wetsuits, bikes and shoes, but a poorly supportive sports bra causes real discomfort — and potential long-term tissue damage — over the run legs of a long training block. Shock Absorber’s Ultimate Run Bra is one of the most consistently well-reviewed high-impact options built…
Run60minBeginnerSession Overview Power-hiking — fast, purposeful walking with an emphasis on hills — is one of the easiest ways to add aerobic volume in the off-season without the impact load of running. It builds hip and calf strength on the climbs, gives your legs a break from repetitive running mechanics, and works well as a…
ASICS rolled the Sonicblast 2 out globally from 24 August 2026, with full availability from 1 September. It’s a daily-trainer “super shoe” — a nylon-plated, dual-foam trainer rather than a dedicated race shoe — and it lands right as most triathletes are shifting from race-specific sessions into higher-volume off-season running. We haven’t had one on…
