Triathlon Running Foundations: A Simple System for Every Triathlete to Finish the Run Feeling Strong, No Matter Their Athletic Background

Book excerpt: Despite what you might have heard, triathlon running is not like typical running. The triathlon run comes after a swim and a bike, making training, pacing, and technique requirements very different from regular running. But this isn't what triathletes have been told! Fortunately, with the right kind of run training, the triathlon run doesn't have to be a long, painful slog with a stumble to the finish. "Triathlon Running Foundations" provides the specific information athletes need in order to feel strong for every step of the run, all the way to the finish. For anyone who has ever said they dread the run, can't seem to improve, get injured, or feel like they're "just not built to run," this book will be the solution! "Triathlon Taren" Gesell is a triathlete who has become known for his wildly popular YouTube channel, Instagram account, and podcast, where he shares tips, tricks, hacks, the latest scientific findings and time-tested knowledge to help age-groupers get to their start lines confident and their finish lines strong. Based in Winnipeg, Canada, Taren is also the head coach of TeamTrainiac.com, a training platform supporting a growing community of triathletes from all around the world.
