5 Qualities to Look for in a Triathlon Coach
Hiring a triathlon coach is one of the highest-leverage investments an athlete can make.

What Is Zone Training in Triathlons & How Heart Rate Zones Improve Triathlon Performance
Most triathletes train hard. But training smart ? That's where the real performance gains live — and zone training is the foundation of smarter triathlon preparation. Heart rate zones divide your training intensity into distinct bands, each targeting a different physiological system. Zone 1 and Zone 2 build the aerobic base that sustains you through long race efforts. Zone 3 develops your lactate threshold — the point where effort becomes unsustainable. Zones 4 and 5 push yo
