#742 – Mixing Run Races With Triathlon

How fast, and how much should you be running? Today, we look at those questions and much more as we prepare for another triathlon season that is coming up on us quickly. Is the key to being a faster runner going really hard, or should you keep your run ceiling no faster than tempo? What are other variables that come into play? Should you taper for your 1/2 or 10k? How does biking and swimming work into your running puzzle for triathlon? Are you running too much? Focusing on recovery? Are you patient in your training, or always trying to prove something? Today, we look at the best ways to train if you want to be a better runner with a focus on low risk and high reward.
