Should Triathletes Run Training Differ from Elite Runners Training

This study compares the physiological demands of triathletes and elite runners, exploring which variables impact performance and the implications for training strategies. It examines the effects of swimming and cycling on running performance, the best predictor of running performance, and mistakes to avoid. Additionally, it delves into the physiological attributes of athletes, the differences between O.D. Triathlon and 10,000M/1/2 Marathon events, and the impact of swimming and cycling on running performance.

    1. Should Triathletes’ Run Training Differ from Elite Runners’ Training? Comparison of physiological demands Comparison of athletes and training Which physiological variables matter? Implications for training Can swimming/cycling replace running mileage? Individuality Mistakes to avoid

    2. How do the Physiological Demands of O.D. Triathlon compare to 10,000M/1/2 Marathon?

    3. How do the Physiological Attributes of the Athletes Compare?

    6. Which Physiological Variable is the Best Predictor of Running Performance?

    7. Implications for Triathlon Run Training

    13. Do Swimming & Cycling Training Improve or Hinder Running Performance? Positives: Swimming & cycling improve cardiovascular fitness with less risk of injury than additional running Swimming & cycling help recovery Negatives: Lactate threshold and running economy improve due to peripheral adaptations in the muscles (lack of specificity) Cycling tends to develop tight hip flexors and hamstrings Cycling may overdevelop quads Swimming and cycling increase overall fatigue

    15. Designing Training for Different Stages of Development Large differences between triathletes in ability to adapt positively, depending on: Biological/training age (changing canvas) Gender Genetics (“Plumbing” and “Adaptability”) Injury history Biomechanics Some young swimmers have ? bone density Volume/intensity dictated by current ability to adapt positively (increase 10-25%/yr?)
