  Striker rod and bellows for igniting even stubborn fuel

  The Vargo Ultimate Fire Starter provides everything you need to start a roaring fire except the fuel. Simply unscrew the ferrocerium rod from the bellows and use the integrated scraper to ignite any tinder. Then, extend the bellows and gently blow to nurture that spark into a flame. Or use it any time to help increase the heat of your fire. Great for getting stubborn or wet fuel to burn, too!

The triathlete's complete guide to heart-rate zone training
  When people typically make their first foray into triathlon, motivation is high while fitness is low.

Will I still get a benefit if I do my bike training with someone slower than me?
  In short, the answer is yes, you will still benefit from doing some of your bike training with someone slower than you. In fact, with indoor training, you can do sessions together and never drop them!   Unless you're on the turbo, though, you shouldn't do all your workouts with them, but you can manage your training to make the sessions...
Does triathlon cause shingles?
  Shingles has been hitting the headlines recently, with the elderly and those with a weakened immune system more at risk of developing this painful condition.   So what exactly is it?

What's a brick session?
  A brick session is a training set that involves more than one discipline/sport back-to-back. The most common example in triathlon is the bike/run brick, where a bike session will be followed by a run.   An example could be a 30min road bike ride followed by a 10min run straight away after (you can steadily build up the duration and intensity...
The ultimate guide to your first triathlon
  To minimise the risks of coming unstuck at your first triathlon, we’ve asked some top coaches to provide expert insights to take you through that first event, from the nail-biting build-up to the celebratory beverage after the race, whatever triathlon distance it is; super sprint, sprint, standard distance – or, for the crazies among you, something even longer.   How fit...
What if I finish last in a triathlon?
  Worrying about finishing last is a concern many people have when racing a triathlon for the first time but it shouldn’t put you off giving triathlon a go.   It really doesn’t matter where you come in the race, it’s just about trying to enjoy it. Also regardless of speed you’re doing better than most people, more than a third of...
What is fartlek training?
  The definition of the Swedish word Fartlek is 'speed play' in English and it means running, cycling and swimming at different speeds.   What is fartlek running?

What makes triathlon’s strongest cyclists so fast?
  I might be biased as I’m primarily a cyclist, but, especially in middle-distance and long course non-drafting events, it really is all about the bike.   Time-wise it constitutes the biggest proportion of the event and not only can a strong rider make up huge chunks of time on the ride but, if they're able to put in a decent bike...
Best back stretches for triathletes
  As triathletes, the volume of training that you put your body through is intense, and it’s common to get aches and pains associated with a long period of repetitive exercise.   Not only that but even though you are working with three different disciplines, you are still prone to using a lot of the same muscles groups, in similar ranges.   One...
What to check on your bike before you race
  1.MAKE SURE THE BIKE FITS   An ill-fitting, high-end bike won’t serve you as well as a correctly fitting, entry-level one. A good local bike shop should be able to at least help you get the correct size of bike and many shops are now offering fit services. If you have the budget, getting a full professional fit before you venture...

  Born in the early 1970s at the San Diego Track Club, modern triathlon has grown enormously over a relatively short period of time into a variety of popular formats.   There are now thought to be around 100,000 active participants in the UK alone, and the sport has seen tremendous growth over the last decade.   We’re not bad at it either:...
