The qualifiers for the 2015 ETU Geneva Sprint Triathlon are done and here are the results. Except they aren’t done but I’ll come back to that! Anyway here are the results 1. Rother Valley Sprint Tri results ETU ITU 2014 2. Southport Marine Sprint Tri Results 2014 3. Notingham Sprint Triathlon Results ETU ITU 2014…
Race season is well and truly upon us. I had a reasonably good race last weekend. But ignoring that the point of this post is about race prep. I always take the kitchen sink to races. A car full of rubbish I never use (just like the first time you did a triathlon). Anyway. Now…
Well it won’t be my 14th but this year is the 14th London Duathlon (the world’s largest apparently). I think I’ve done it 3 or 4 times now, great course that I know well. Not sure quite what my plans are this year as I have several other racing commitments and now that my training…
Optimal triathlon & duathlon seat height is 105-107% of inside leg measurement.
Here they all are. I don’t think a list exists elsewhere that encompasses all the championships and qualifiers in one go.
IRONMAN NEWS IRONMAN 70.3 UK is almost full for 2013, so if you are one of the athletes that is intending to race in June but hasn’t yet entered, you need to do so in the next few days as we have already sold 95% of the general entry places. ENTER NOW IRONMAN 70.3 UK entries may…

Spreadsheet for the challenge, classic and fun distances only. Some of the splits are wrong but the overall times seem right.

ITU Powerman Long Distance Duathlon World Championships Return to Zofingen By Erin Greene on 28/08/12 at 11:11 pm For the second consecutive year and the fifth time in history, the ITU Powerman Long Distance Duathlon World Championships will be decided in the small and scenic Swiss town of Zofingen. Defending world champions Melanie Burke…
With the World Duathlon Championships held on 22nd September this year in Nancy the organisers of the London Duathlon have cleverly (or accidentally) scheduled the world’s largest Duathlon in Richmond Park to be on Sunday 9th September. This is perfect for the Age Group competitors wanting to test their legs at race speed just before…
It’s getting VERY close – Sunday 9th September 2012 for the London Duathlon in Richmond Park. Hopefully you’ve really been “going for it” over the last couple of weeks whilst at the same time remembering that your body needs to recover between sessions. Hopefully too you’ve mixed it up a little and varied your sessions.…
This is a post to show you how to interpret the training load plugin for SportTracks. There are other links to how to do that in this ZoneFiveSoftware TrainingLoad forum BUT my slant comes from talking you through the highs and lows of my specific graph leading up to an event ie trying to tie…
Here is a VERY basic WEEKLY template for a Duathlon. You’ll have to work out your own specific sessions. If you want to do your own thing but follow a broad structure then this is for you. If, like me, you tend to follow very detailed plans then this is not what you want! You…
I got a SB today for one of my localish parkrun courses Season’s Best! Haven’t had a PB for a long time so anything counts. If they are good enough to report on the BBC for the Helsinki Euro Champs then they are good enough for me! I was 30 seconds off which sounds a…
The transitions in Triathlon and Duathlon (and I suppose Aquathons as well, if you are that way inclined) are often called the fourth discipline which always sounds a bit strange when you are doing a duathlon but never mind. Anyway are they all pretty much the same? And is my T1 or T2 time pretty…
Yes. I would definately enter I represented GB in Age Group Duathlon and genuinely was worried that I may well have come last. As it turned out I wasn’t. There’s always someone somewhere that will be slower than you. You just have to hope they are in the same race!! But really who cares? Think…
What Do The British Triathlon Abbreviations Mean On The Qualification Pages? Most of it is fairly self explanatory but the PQ Worlds10 and PQ Ranks10 and PQ Nats10 might confuse some. I’ve taken the 2011 World Duathlon pages and found these from <here>. So PQ Worlds10 means: Pre-Qualification from being a top 3 finisher in…
Qualifier Events And Processes For The Sprint And Standard Duathlon – Age Group ITU ETU World European Championships 2012-2013
I have attached a sub 38 minute 10k training regime (male). It’s hard if followed fully. As you are reading this you will also want to be able to train and improve on your bike, maybe also swimming. A tough call. But that’s why triathlon and duathlon are hard. The importance of running of course…
Opening a debate here: I’m doing a sprint duathlon ie 5:20:2.5km. Is it worth bothering to change shoes? Does it save time and reduce risk by using straps on the bike with racing shoes? For longer events I tend to use my trainers (rather than racing shoes) to provide cushioning for my delicate legs (!)…
Here is a great artcile => Sports Drinks. That article is pretty much the definitive look at sports drinks. Essentially for ‘endurance’ events over an hour you NEED an isotonic drink taken by several sips every 10-15 minutes with some fuel in the tank before you start. for less than an hour a bit of…
