About this episode
We get honest about what “good” form feels like and why wasted energy is the quiet reason so many runners plateau or pick up injuries. Then we map a realistic route from running into triathlon, with simple swim and bike priorities that help you improve without burning out.
• running efficiency as reducing wasted energy and keeping heart rate controlled
• avoiding cross-body arm swing to protect hips knees and future injury risk
• progressing drills from two feet to one foot to expose hip stability and glute strength
• strength training expectations when legs feel heavy and form still matters
• unilateral work and theraband exercises for better stability and power
• picking five drills for five weeks to avoid the training plan rabbit hole
• triathlon planning basics around location gear cost and time constraints
• beginner triathlon swimming using fins and pull buoy to build feel breathing and aerobic capacity
• head down position and stopping the bobble-head habit
• high elbow catch as anchoring then moving the body forwards
• cycling setup gears glute engagement and fueling for long rides
• transitions and the mindset shift from single-discipline running to multi-sport efficiency
