Tri Harder

Think of a triathlon as a single race, not separate events. Your pacing strategy while cycling can influence the running leg of a triathlon, according to an Australian study. Triathletes who varied their cycling intensity ran slower than those who pedalled at one pace. Staying steady is tough on a hilly course, so prep for power with interval training: Do six all-out 5-minute hill intervals, resting a minute between each.
