Once you finish your A-race for the year, you may ask yourself, now what?

2009: It is tough to imagine a more highly anticipated Hawaii Ironman World Championships than this year, although we seem to say that each year!

We’re approaching that time of the year where athletes start to wonder: what should I do now? My season is almost over so what can I do to race faster next year? Here are our thoughts on the offseason: Take a bit of a break after your last race to recharge and freshen things up a bit.

I'm often asked how a triathlete could really fuel their body with thousands of daily calories, and still avoid common inflammatory foods and diet "allergy" triggers like soy, gluten/wheat, dairy and eggs.

If you have a deep desire and dream to cross the Ironman finish line, or you're simply a busy person with absolutely no time, passion or desire to neglect work and family for 2 hour pool sessions, 7 hour bike rides, and 3 hour runs, then then this article was written for you.

This season, I saw way too many athletes using G2 as their sports drink while training for a half-ironman or Ironman race. Let me be as clear as I can upfront- G2 is NOT a sports drink and will NOT provide you with enough calories to sustain any workload much longer than 1 hour.

It may not be the ideal situation, but it's happened to just about every triathlete, typically about 3-5 weeks before your big race. You step on the scale and...you're heavy. Really heavy.

Every year a few weeks ahead of Kona all triathletes start to get excited about the big show, wondering if one day they could be a part of the Ironman World Championships as a competitor themselves.

As a traditional yardstick to measure capacity for aerobic work, the VO2 Max is a considered by many endurance athletes to be the holy grail of fitness.
