#Breaking2

The whole athletic world was glued to the livestream of Nike’s #Breaking2 attempt last May 6 for good reason. The event itself was more than just a marketing stunt by Nike nor a world record attempt; it was an experiment that tested the limits of both human physiology and technology. The goal was quite simple, break the longstanding 2hr marathon barrier. Of course, this is easier said than done.

PREP: Tri United Exceed 2017

It’s another season and the Sante Barley Practical Race Execution and Preview (PREP) series is here once again to make sure you’ve got all the points ticked off for race day!
There are some minute changes to the first race of the TriUnited franchise. Last year’s TU1 has been renamed to The TriUnited Exceed Standard. However, apart from the name change, the race is almost identical to last year.

Training with Power 101

Whenever we talk about cycling, terms like aero, lightweight, stiff, or low friction come to mind. Athletes often purchase such upgrades because of “free speed.” This means maximizing your current fitness level by increasing efficiency and minimizing energy loss. As such, things like aero wheels, aero helmets, ceramic bearings, and high modulus carbon fiber are mainstays in the peloton or transition area.
