I am Adidas-addicted. The “three stripes” are one of my lovebrands. It costs me a lot to say that the Boost are a product that totally over promise. I haven’t noticed any particular performance. I don’t find them particularly reactive, even if I have to say that they are well cushioned. The very soft upper…
Ludwig Feuerbach first said it in Germany in the early 1800’s and modern dietitians contiunue to assert it even today. If we’re going to be honest with ourselves, the first distinction that needs to be made is that between those who “eat to do sport” and those who “do sport to eat”. This may seem…
If you’re thinking “I’d like to have a go at triathlon!” but you’re discouraged by a lack of time and information, you’ll find this article useful. Let’s start with an assumption: “If you can run for an hour at 5min/km (8min/mi) you have the physical capabilities to complete a triathlon”. You’ve already got the…
Below follows a short review of the different types of personality (some might say personality disorders) that characterise in my opinion the majority of the people that carry out the various sporting disciplines. I know very well that some readers will only recognise a part of themselves, or won’t recognise themselves at all, in the…
A quick search on Google shows us that there are ever-increasing numbers of women-only races. But is this a good thing? Running USA reports that in 2012 women accounted for a massive 56% of total road race finishers, the highest percentage recorded to date (USA data only). In 1990 this figure was only 25%. The…
Something is happening to running. No longer is it enough to don a pair of running shoes, shorts and a technical t-shirt and hit the roads. Nowadays it seems you have to wade through mud, climbs walls, swim streams, push through electrodes, in the Tough Mudder events or or avoid a zombie intent on “infecting”…
How great it is to make your debut in an open water race. Finally a big pool without lanes, with the chance to take advantage of the draft. A different view and salt water that, thanks to the increased density compared to fresh water, enables better buoyancy, make it very enjoyable. You might think that…
Three types of sport, three times the training? Apparently not, but you will need to be organised and disciplined in your approach. The triathlon has never been more popular, starting as “les trois sports” in France in the 1920’s it slowly evolved until the first edition of the famous Haiwaii Ironman Triathlon in 1978 (where…
A training diary is one of the most useful and important tools available to athletes, in some cases indispensable (particularly for elite athletes). It makes it possible to analyse the evolution in your performance and, as a consequence, better calibrate your training program. Today technology provides a series of advanced tools which enable us to…
Without a doubt one of the most complex activities related to triathlon is the preparation of the kit bag pre-race. Over the years I have worked up a method to avoid forgetting any of the tools of the trade. The trick is to mentally envisage each of the steps, from the moment in which you…
