TriForward's full library of in-depth, research-backed training guides.
Pros report 120-200g of carbs an hour, but the science backing that jump for age-groupers is thinner than the trend suggests. Here's what's proven, what's not, and how to set your own number.
Dead legs off the bike are real and measurable — research points to altered mechanics and coordination, not just fatigue, and shows what dose of brick training actually helps.
Roughly a third to half of endurance athletes deal with GI distress during racing. Gut training offers a structured, evidence-informed way to build tolerance - here's what the research supports and how to build a protocol safely.
How much heat prep actually works before racing in the heat, what the sports-science consensus says about timing, and the safety rules to respect along the way.
FTP isn't dead, but it's a rougher proxy than most training platforms suggest. Here's what Critical Power and W' research actually shows — and how to pace smarter without a lab.
Most triathletes skip strength training because there's no time. Here's what the research says about the smallest dose that still counts, and where the evidence gets extrapolated.
Race-start panic isn't just nerves: anxiety measurably amplifies cold shock, and poor sighting technique adds real drag. Here's what the evidence supports, and how to train both.
Pros report 150g+ of carbs per hour on the bike. Here's what the exercise metabolism research actually supports for age-group triathletes — and how to build tolerance safely.
What pacing research actually supports in the feel-vs-data debate, why even and negative pacing consistently beat aggressive starts, and how to combine RPE with power and pace data.
Pre-run static stretching is a near-universal habit, but multiple systematic reviews suggest it's performance-neutral to mildly negative and doesn't reliably prevent injury. Here's what to do instead.
"Just lengthen your stroke" is oversimplified. Decades of swim biomechanics research show the rate-vs-length balance depends on distance and fatigue — here's what age-groupers should actually train.
Carbon-plated racing shoes give a real but modest running-economy boost, with huge individual variability and a new, still-preliminary bone stress injury signal — here's how to use them sensibly.
