How does a hard bike leg impact your running in triathlon races, and what training strategies can you use to minimise the performance decrements? Naroa Etxeberria, having written her doctoral thesis on the topic, has the answers.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

• How prior cycling impacts running performance-wise and physiologically
• Attributes that improve running performance after a hard bike leg
• What type of training you should do to minimise the impact of the bike leg on your run
