What’s New The Endorphin Elite 3 is Saucony’s flagship race-day super shoe, launched 1 June 2026. It’s the first Saucony coverage on this site beyond the daily-trainer-tier Endorphin Speed 4 — the Elite 3 is a different animal entirely, built for race day rather than tempo sessions. Key Specs Midsole — a full 40mm stack…
Bike60minAdvancedSession Overview This 58-minute turbo session is built around six hard three-minute efforts at VO2max intensity — the top gear of your aerobic engine. It’s a staple late-season session for lifting your ceiling before racing, sharpening the top-end power that makes race-pace efforts on the bike feel more comfortable by comparison. What You’ll Need Turbo…
BikeSwim90min+AdvancedSession Overview Aquabike — swim and bike only, no run — has its own pacing logic that’s easy to get wrong if you only ever train with a run leg in mind. Without a run to manage, both the swim and the bike can be raced closer to their genuine ceiling than a standard triathlon…
Swim30minAdvancedSession Overview This session uses a drag suit or mini swim parachute to add resistance through the pull, building the raw pulling strength that carries over to a stronger, more efficient catch at race pace. Best for intermediate and advanced swimmers with solid technique already — resistance work exaggerates existing form flaws, so it’s not…
Most triathlon power meter reviews focus on road-cleat pedals, but the Garmin Rally XC110 is built around SPD-style, recessed cleats instead — the same style used on gravel, cyclocross and mountain bikes. That sounds like a niche choice until you think about T2: walking or running in a recessed cleat is far less awkward than…
Both shoes launched within months of each other as their brands’ newest marathon-pace racing platforms, and both will show up on the run leg of plenty of races in 2026. Off the bike with tired legs is a different test than a standalone marathon, so the differences between these two — stack height, foam response,…
Both are flagship, sprint-focused road shoes from brands that dominate triathlon bike setups, but they solve the same problem — maximum power transfer with a genuinely secure fit — in different ways. Here’s how the Ares 2’s twin-BOA sprint shoe compares to the S-PHYRE RC9’s stiffness-first approach. At a Glance Specialized S-Works Ares 2 —…
Giro sells two very different aero helmets under a confusingly similar name. The Aerohead MIPS is the brand’s long-running road-focused aero lid, built to be worn for an entire race including climbs. The Aerohead II is a purpose-built time trial and triathlon helmet, developed with Team Visma-Lease a Bike and wind-tunnel tested with Jonas Vingegaard…
Both suits are built for the same job — non-drafting, middle and long-distance racing where every watt of drag matters — but they get there in different ways. Castelli’s PR 3 replaces the PR 2 as the brand’s flagship, while Zone3’s Aeroforce-X II was developed with aero specialists NoPinz and wind-tunnel tested at the Boardman…
What to Look For Plenty of triathletes split their bike time between a road bike and a tri bike, which means a stiff, precise road racing shoe still earns a place in the kit bag for group rides, road-race legs of duathlons, and anyone who wants a snug, no-hotspot fit for long days in the…
