Triathletes are well known for being training machines. The laps in the pool, the kilometres in the saddle and the strides on the tarmac soon add up — or rather, they are collected with a certain pride. It «soothes» the conscience. But this enthusiasm for effort must not give way to haste and the mistakes that come from a lack of recovery…
Running is one of the most effective aerobic activities for improving cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Yet understanding how heart rate changes during training remains a challenge for many runners, especially in the first few months. Here are 7 concrete strategies to lower your heart rate at a given pace — and ultimately run faster with less effort.
Spring is the time when fitness is sown – the results are harvested in summer. But many athletes make the same mistake: they think that training more is what it takes to improve. In reality, the key is to train better – and to understand what really happens in the body when you cycle or run.
Spring is the season cyclists, runners, and triathletes look forward to all winter long. The days are getting longer, temperatures are rising, and the race calendar is beginning to take shape. If you’ve put in the work over the winter, you now have a solid base to build on — and the spring phase is exactly the right time to do so intelligently.
Many endurance athletes spend their training weeks oscillating between Z2 and Z3 without ever really committing to one.
