Over fifteen years, we've published hundreds of articles in various publications, including LAVA, IRONMAN.COM, COMPETITOR, INSIDE TRIATHLON, and BICYCLING. But most of the training articles have been in TEXAS RUNNER & TRIATHLETE (formerly RUNNER TRIATHLETE NEWS). Here's a selection of some of the best ones, including triathlon and marathon subjects. Note these are the original drafts before publication, which include extra training tips, but also some typos and errors before editing.
