Ironman and triathlon training
The run is where many triathlons are decided. Train the running part with us now; swim and bike sessions are coming later.
Running for triathletes
In a triathlon you run on legs that have already swum and cycled. Running well there comes from steady, efficient aerobic running, not just speed.
For now, Striders covers the run: coached track work, the long run and a plan that fits around your swim and bike training. Club swim and bike sessions are coming later.
