What to Look For Cold hands are one of the fastest ways to make an easy autumn or winter run miserable, and unlike a jacket, gloves are cheap enough that there’s no excuse for running without a pair once the temperature drops. The right choice depends on how cold and wet your typical run is…
Run30minBeginnerSession Overview A conservative, structured walk-run reintroduction for triathletes returning to running after injury or a prolonged break — cleared by a physio or doctor for gentle load, but not yet ready for continuous running. This session prioritises pain-free tissue loading over pace or distance. What You’ll Need A flat, even surface — a track,…
Both of these are carbon-plated racing super shoes built to shave seconds off a run split, but they take different routes to get there — and the gap in price and weight is big enough to matter when you’re choosing between them for your next triathlon. Spec Comparison UK price: Vaporfly 4 — £210 (men’s)…
What to Look For Arm sleeves do two different jobs depending on why you’re wearing them: UPF-rated sun sleeves protect exposed skin on long, hot outdoor rides and runs where sunscreen alone won’t cut it, while compression sleeves are aimed more at muscle support and recovery. Picking the wrong one for the job means you…
Garmin’s fēnix 9 landed on 25 August 2026, a year almost to the week after the fēnix 8 Pro. If you’re already running a fēnix 8 Pro, is the new watch worth the upgrade — or should you wait it out? Here’s how the two compare on the specs that actually affect triathlon training and…
What to Look For Cold water immersion after a hard brick or a heat-training block is one of the few recovery tools with real evidence behind it for reducing perceived soreness, even if the performance-enhancement claims get overstated.

Here’s what actually separates the HRM 600 from the HRM-Pro Plus, and which triathletes should buy which. The Two Straps at a Glance Garmin HRM 600 — £169.99, 18g module, ANT+ Unlimited plus three simultaneous…
BikeRun90min+IntermediateSession Overview As daylight shortens and mornings cool into autumn, this brick session practises the layering decisions that catch a lot of triathletes out early in the season: what to wear on the bike leg without overheating, and how to shed or adjust it fast in transition before the run. It’s for anyone racing or…
The HOKA Tecton X 4 launched globally on 20 August 2026, and UK stock landed the same week — so instead of the usual pre-launch guesswork, we can now confirm the full spec sheet, UK pricing and what’s actually changed. For triathletes tackling off-road runs (XTERRA-style events, technical run legs, or long trail training days),…
Run60minIntermediateSession Overview Five reps of 1000m at 10K race pace, a classic threshold-building session for triathletes who want a run leg that holds up when the fatigue from the swim and bike is already banked.
