Triathlon Strength Training – How To Plan For Base Phase & Beyond
As multisport athletes we try to accumulate as much swim, bike and run hours as possible. However, triathlon strength training can be a very effective way to build endurance as well.

Some don’t do it because of the fear of putting on too much muscle weight and getting slower. Others are concerned they will get injured.

3 Ways To Calculate Max Heart Rate And How To Use It
Maximum heart rate does decrease with age, but not nearly as much as formulas would suggest (especially for fit people). It goes down mostly due to the decreased level of overall activity. In a similar way, one might even increase max heart rate slightly with training as the body gets better at lactate clearance and ‘allows’ to push harder. In fact, trained athletes don’t really see a drop in maximum heart rate until they end their careers and reduce training volume. It’s not uncommon to see a 40-year-old athlete hitting 195bpm where maximum heart rate calculator would suggest only 180.

High Heart Rate When Running? Here Are 11 Things You Can Do
In 2004, a study published by evolutionary biologist and Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman found that as humans we are actually incredibly adapted distance runners. Physiologically, we are built to be able to run after prey for hours (even in the heat) until the animal is completely exhausted and cannot fight back. That study has been nicknamed “Born to Run” and had a major influence on the running world. But if it’s true and we are born to run for hours, how come some of us struggle with high heart rate when running? Even at an easy pace.
