Req 7b — Duathlon Simulation
7b.
Duathlon (run 1.5 km, bike 3 km, and run 0.75 km)
Duathlon starts with a run, which means it is easy to go out too fast. Your goal is to control the first run well enough to keep the bike strong and the final run steady.
What to focus on
- Start controlled, not rushed
- Use transition to reset your brain before the bike leg
- Bike smoothly instead of trying to “make up time”
- Expect the last run to feel different because your legs are coming off the bike
