Jono Rumbelow, our ironguides coach in South Africa, got to test 7 pairs of barefoot running shoes recently. Here's what he found:

With the Ironman World Championship less than a month away, athletes are laying out their race gear and checking it twice. Since the swim comes first, we thought we’d let you in on what we have heard is out there. The World Triathlon Corporation recently changed the rules on speedsuits so manufacturers are looking for the fastest out there.

Trifuel takes a look at a couple new products on the market. The Skins RY400 Recovery Suit and Element Endurance Bars.

There are interesting new tools designed to aid the bike fitting process. Some incorporate dynamic motion sensing and capture technology. As a gadget guy, I am compelled by new technology and I often get asked what the “best” fit system or process is.

A common question that I get is what is a better power meter- “the power tap or one that’s in the cranks?” This is a great question, especially considering the cost of a power meter. I will attempt to answer this question here. There are usually two questions about which power meter is the best: 1. Which is more practical, having it built into the bike or into a wheel?

When Felt went through the last major redesign of its triathlon/TT line, they decided to create a frame layout that was essentially the same from entry level to top shelf, and purported to be one of the most aerodynamic in the world.

When it comes to purchasing a power meter, my recommendation will always be to choose the most flexible product that your budget allows. For this reason I advise purchasing an on-bike unit that can be used both indoors and outdoors, and for training and racing. However, there are some compelling new indoor power training options that may fit your niche.

You’re due for a new pair of running shoes. ‘Where do I start?’ you may ask yourself. Well let’s start off by dismantling one of The Big Myths: The most expensive pair of running shoes is not necessarily the best pair of running shoes for you. That’s right.

What works for elite triathletes isn’t necessarily the fastest option for a first-timer or beginner – often you may even go slower if you pick a piece of equipment that was designed to go extremely fast.

The evolution of the bicycle shifting continues. Shimano now has its new electronic Dura Ace Di2 gruppo. Sure there have been other companies that have tried to master this but I think Shimano is on to something with this one. Shimano Dura Ace
