Why All Triathletes Need to Run the 5K
Lee Gardner June 04, 2013
I was recently reminded, quite painfully in fact, about why running the 5k is an important distance or event for triathletes to spend time focusing on. My reminder came in the form of a duathlon, which was a 5k run/30k bike/5k run. The pace from the start was fast. About 2 minutes into the first 5k, I looked down at my Garmin and saw a 5:19 m/m average pace. The rest of the first leg is a blur to me. Once I regained conscious thought during the bike leg, I couldn't help but think, "Holy crap, that hurt! I need to focus on running 5k!" My point is not about how fast or slow I can run a 5k, but to simply express my thoughts about how this middle-distance running event is a key for you, the triathlete, to gain and maintain run speed, regardless of the triathlon distance in which you specialize.
