Running is a sport of range — from the sharp intensity of the 1500m and 3km track races to the sustained rhythm of 5km, 10km, half-marathon, and marathon distances. Beyond the marathon lies the legendary Comrades, a test of grit and tradition, and the rugged world of mountain trail running, where courses stretch from 11km to 60km across challenging terrain.
For triathletes, running is the final crucible across all four formats, demanding not only fitness but also resilience after the swim and bike. Each distance and discipline calls for a unique blend of speed, stamina, pacing, and mental toughness, yet all share the same essence: the pursuit of progress, step by step.
This section brings together insights on training, racing, and recovery across the full spectrum of running — helping you prepare for everything from sharpening your track speed to conquering the trails and enduring the longest road races.
