The Continental Aero 111 is a road tyre built to cut drag as well as rolling resistance, and it is sold as a front tyre only. Continental developed it with DT Swiss and Swiss Side. Its tread carries 48 small cavities designed to reduce drag. For triathletes, who spend hours in a fixed position on…
Run45minAdvancedSession Overview Forty seconds hard, twenty seconds easy, repeated. The short recoveries keep the heart rate high while the hard reps stay controlled, so you collect a lot of time at speed without the grind of long intervals. It suits an off-season block where you want to keep some intensity in your legs without a…
The Garmin Rally RK210 is Garmin’s dual-sensing power meter pedal for Look Keo cleats. It measures power on both legs, so it also reports left/right balance, and it is the pedal to look at if you want power data on a tri bike and a road bike without fitting a crankset meter to each. BikeRadar…
Swim60minAdvancedSession Overview A broken 1200m time trial splits your CSS (Critical Swim Speed) test into manageable chunks with short rest, rather than one continuous swim. You’ll hold a harder average pace than a continuous time trial because the brief rests let you recover just enough to keep form together, giving you a more accurate CSS…
Swim45minAdvancedSession Overview Most triathletes never see their own stroke from underwater or side-on — you’re relying entirely on how it feels, which is an unreliable guide to what’s actually happening. This session builds filming and review directly into the swim itself, so you can spot a flaw and drill the correction in the same pool…
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…
Zipp has resurrected one of its most storied wheelset names. The new 202 NSW is a from-scratch, hookless carbon climbing wheelset, and Zipp claims it’s the lightest wheelset it has ever built. For triathletes who care about total bike weight on hilly 70.3 or Ironman courses — or who simply want the fastest possible wheel…
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…
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)…

This is a hard, advanced session best suited to athletes with an established base who want a late-season fitness…
