In triathlon, running better isn’t just about running faster. When you emerge from the water at Mar Bella, rack your bike in transition after riding along the N-II, and start running along the seafront promenade, your legs feel heavy, and—without even realizing it—your stride changes.
This is where running efficiency comes into play: how much speed you lose with each step. The less you lose, the further you’ll go using the same amount of energy. And in a triathlon—given the fatigue accumulated during the swim and bike legs—that difference shows at the finish line.
That is why we are thrilled to announce that Garmin, a global leader in sports smartwatches and GPS technology, is joining as an official sponsor of the Challenge Barcelona Triathlon.
How can running efficiency be improved?
To arrive at race weekend in peak condition, it is crucial to incorporate the following into your training routine:
Transition workouts (bike + run): To accustom your legs to the change in pace and the initial sensation of fatigue.
Running technique drills: To optimize foot strike, cadence, and posture.
Core strengthening: Essential for maintaining stability and an upright posture as fatigue sets in.
