NICE CLIMB

If you’re training for a triathlon with a hilly bike course (like the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in Nice), then you’ll want to pay attention to this article by coach Adam Pulford.

He explains how you can climb significantly faster by mastering pacing strategies, power deployment and fueling practices.

He also describes 3 climbing-specific workouts that build fitness and improve your FTP so that you can race faster.

70.3 ESSENTIALS

To perform well in an IRONMAN 70.3, you don’t need to log endless training hours.  What you need are the right sessions that build fitness without burnout.

In this video, coach Phil Mosley breaks down the 5 essential workouts for a faster IRONMAN 70.3.

FUEL EFFICIENT

When you think about it, the bike leg is your only real opportunity to fuel during a triathlon.  That makes your fueling plan on the ride critically important for achieving a strong finish on the run.

Too many age groupers chronically under-fuel on the bike and over-fuel during the run.

Coach Anthony Walsh shares his 6-step fueling roadmap from T1 to T2 that will help you finally get your nutrition plan dialed.

RUNNER’S CORE

The runner’s core is a stability system for the pelvis and lower trunk.  When the hips, glutes, and deep stabilizers are weak, the load shifts to knees and connective tissue like the IT bands.

These 5 targeted exercises develop the running-specific strength required for maintaining fast, efficient form deep into a race.

Performed two or three times per week, these exercises will prevent energy leaks and improve your running economy.
