If you want to change your body, exercise. If

you want to change your life, become a runner.

Running is an integral part of any triathlon event, but for some reason it does not get as much focus as swimming and cycling gets.

Running training for triathlons is even more specialized.

Also, running on a pair of legs that have just ridden a bike is different from running on a fresh pair of legs. That’s why you need specialized training for triathlon runners.

Become Better Pure Runners To become better triathlon runners,

triathletes need to be better pure runners during triathlon off-season.

Running a few races during the fall and winter seasons helps to get build the stamina.

Eat Right Before Triathlon Any triathlete knows that eating

the right food is essential for peak performance.

Get off the Beaten Track

Runner and writer Brian Metzler strongly advises triathletes to run on road miles.

Metzler also suggests hill workouts to build muscle strength and bring change to your mundane running routine.

Running up hills helps make your leg muscles stronger & increase your speed & endurance.
