nice pb gobi - interesting how the position has changed with a move back to the more traditional aero bars rather than s bends and a flatter position.

It is interesting Greppers. His views don't bother me much since I'm never going to be near the front for any of the three disciplines. His point about aerobic v. anaerobic is a bit flawed, in that it only applies to the cycling element. There are plenty of triathlons won with a three minute aerobic burst in the final stages of the run. It also strikes me that our PoD is proof that it's perfectly possible to be seriously competitive at both bike and run as standalone events and combined in the duathlon. |

Fair comments all - I think my point (and something PoD and I have talked about a lot over the years) is that while I'll never be objectively ''good' as a cyclist, I'm far, far better at it than I am at running or swimming - and there's an argument that if I want to be the best athlete I can be, I should focus on cycling.

I too am better at cycling than running, but I didn't find that out until tried triathlon.

I think the better question is.....WHY are you better at cycling, than running and/or swimming? And another question, why does doing the other disciplines detract from cycling? In the past six-seven months I've found all disciplines complementary to the other. |

FR's comment about how do the other disciplines detract is a good one. I'm at the stage where running every day is inadvisable. Going out on the bike at an aerobic pace in between runs does me no harm and my cycling improves. Similarly, for you to go out this evening and run four miles keeping your heart rate below 130 bpm will help your running and won't harm your cycling. |

'you' being me or Fennington (or the PoD)? Back to plenty of triathlons won with a three minute aerobic burst in the final stages of the run - I can almost hear TRO saying that if you paced you race right you would have neither the necessity nor the ability to win the race in the manner described. That notwithstanding ITYP, obvs. |

I ran every day during December 2016 and that (I believe) has been the bedrock for 2017 both physically and mentally. People will advise against running everyday BUT if you adhere to the Gobi school of training it won't do any harm (for a specific time limited period). |
