As your body accounts for up to 80% of the drag on the bike below are some good ways of getting more aerodynamic.

It never fails. The first thing a person does when they buy a power meter, is to go out and ride as hard as they can, and then they rush home to look at their power file. After all, everyone knows that Floyd Landis can sit on 450 W for almost an hour, so everyone wants to know how they stack up.

Unless you been living under a rock for the last year, you know the bicycle power meters are the new rage for triathletes. You see the articles, read the testimonials, done the math on the price even researched a couple of the models available on the market...

You have probably experiencing the sensation of trying to run on two dead legs coming off the bike. Running off the bike is highly stressful and you are most likely to cramp or get an injury in this critical juncture, especially in sprint races.

Contributing Trifuel coaches Patrick McCrann and Rich Strauss spent last week riding with Levi, Basso, and the Tour of California. Well, maybe not with them, but they took a group of Triathletes and rode all the stages for an Epic bike camp and journey. Read Patrick's report...

The miles were ticking away quickly as the brisk wind pushed us all the way back home. My fellow cyclist asks, “What are some good foods to eat after a hard five hour ride like today?”

The flywheel on most spinning bikes is about 30-40lbs, which is why the pedals keep turning after your legs stop. The hamstrings will naturally respond to this added circular momentum by contracting at the top of the pedal stroke to decrease momentum, resulting in an "eccentric contraction" or lengthening of the muscles responsible for slowing hip flexion.

Q: "This year I'm planning to race several triathlons (with one Olympic-distance A race) as well as several road races and criteriums (with a weekend crit series as my other A race). I am setting up my own training plan. I've currently set my plan as 3 swims, 3 bikes, and 3 runs per week.

A commonly overlooked variable for most cyclists is that of proper technique. In essence, proper technique presents itself as the foundation for which fitness should be laid upon. More often than not, it's the latter that gets the attention- forcing those who have poor technique to work perpetually harder as they go harder and so on. It becomes a "cat chasing its tail" scenario.
