Yup, we know….the logic is a little backwards. In nearly every triathlon on the planet you swim THEN bike THEN run.

Why would you want to run THEN bike in a training session? For tired leg training of course.

Hopping on the bike to train when you are tired can help you push through a tough race day. Knowing your legs will be fresher on race day (as having only swam) will boost your confidence and endurance mile after mile.

Practice by starting small and scale into your longer workouts. Try a 5 minute easy run following by a 30 minute short ride. Then a 15 minute run to an hour ride and progress with your coach or training as you see fit.
