TW Relay Team: Dominique's Bike Blog #8

By Dominique Brady on in Triathlon

Dominique gets to grips with some 'good vibrations' with the new powerBIKE™

"Are you ready for the good vibrations?" asks Lars Harms, the UK Academy & Education Manager of Power Plate. It's an unusual question to be asked by a stranger on a Thursday morning, but then I am testing out a rather unusual piece of machinery. The powerBIKE™, the new baby of ...

Bike Fitting For Beginners

By Marco Crisari on in Triathlon

With a little help from an expert bike fit, Triathlete's World Art Director Marco Crisari rides away from his knee injury.

The unfortunate truth is that if you compete in triathlon, as in any other sport, you will at some point suffer an injury. Pushing on through the pain caused by injury is also something most athletes are familiar with, but only the dumbest of the dumb would continue riding for over ...

It's race day. Find out how James got on in the running leg of the Hyde Park Triathlon and if he cracked a 20-minute 5K

The ITU Dextro Energy Hyde Park Triathlon crept up on me. No sooner had I started training than I found myself in the grand stand at Hyde Park watching Helen Jenkins romp home to victory, a few hours before the relay teams would set off. This was my first experience of ...

With just a day to go, the TW Web Team are ready to race

I can't quite believe I'm writing this but there's only one day to go until our sprint relay challenge, the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU World Championship Series London. We have printed off the event details, my outfit is planned and I have persuaded friends to watch me sweat it out over ...

In his penultimate post, James has a fitness assessment to see if he has what it takes to run a sub 20-minute 5K.

With one week left until my running leg of the Hyde Park Triathlon, I visited Bupa's London branch for a fitness assessment. The aim? To find out if I've got the potential to run a sub 20-minute 5K at my current level of fitness and if not, then how I ...

TW Relay Team: Alice's Swim Blog #5

By Alice Palmer on in Triathlon

In which I discover that swimming in a wetsuit is a rather different beast.

The lovely people at Speedo were kind enough to give me a wetsuit for my moment of swimming glory. It is a thing of beauty - it even has fin bits on the arms and pleasing stretches of gold neoprene. But swimming in it took a bit of getting used to. ...

By James Barnard on in Triathlon

Tired of runners giving you excuses and disclaimers about why they've missed their target time or haven't broken a PB? Stop reading now. I recently ran the Standard Chartered Great City Race. This 5K race was supposed to be my practice event, to give me a good indication of ... ...

Even thunder, lightning and rain won't stop an over-distance training session...

I write this latest instalment after tucking into the largest plate of carbohydrates I've devoured since half-marathon training. If there was any more food in my cupboard I could easily keep going, like a pasta-crazed version of the Honey Monster. Why such an appetite surge? Well, today I decided to do ...

Sometimes, the pool can feel just as cut-throat as the roughest open water swim.

Not an awful lot to report on the swimming front - I'm putting in the lengths, trying to count them without losing track (which seems to be much more difficult than it should) and trying to make those constant little improvements to my efficiency in the water. I swim in two ...
