		<title>Common Triathlon Injuries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Would you believe if I told you, there was a training regime you could follow that would ensure you remain injury free?
Of course not, and with good reason. Throughout the course of training for a triathlon, it impossible to stay completely injury free. Whether it&#8217;s minor injuries such as cramps or muscle aches, or major [...]]]></description>

		<title>Training Periodization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Training plans should not just focus on the immediate needs of &#8220;What should I do today?&#8221; or even just for the week.   You need to start with the big picture.   A comprehensive training plan can be broken down into several periods each of which will represent a new phase of training.
This is the concept of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Energy Systems and VO2 Max</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the triathlon, a well trained athlete will rely upon a combination of endurance and speed. Two particular energy systems the body uses for fuel play a key role in designing specific training programs to enhance performance.
The anaerobic adenosine triphosphate &#8211; lactic acid (ATP-LA) system must be stimulated to improve motor unit recruitment, elevate lactate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technical Components of the Triathlon Run</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The run is the least technically demanding event in the triathlon.  Resistances to movement in the running phase are minimal, so conditioning becomes the main training focus.
In terms of running technique, perhaps two variables to consider are stride length and foot placement. The 10 kilometer running speed will be determined by the stride rate and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technical Components of the Triathlon Cycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cycling is a lower body sport. It is easier to master than swimming because it does not take as much time to become proficienft.
The technical aspects of cycling evolve around body position and pedaling efficiency.   Given the same power output, a rider sitting tall will be slower than a crouched rider.
The wind acts as a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Technical Components of the Triathlon Swim</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most technically demanding portion of the triathlon is the swim. Most swims take place in the open water; a lake, the ocean or a river. Although the legs contribute to  the forward propulsion, swimming is primarily an upper body sport.
Triathletes use the crawl stroke because it is the fastest stroke and it provides some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illiotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ITBS starts as a dull pain on the outside of the knee but quickly becomes painful, even to the point where the athlete can’t walk.
Causes
The injury is caused by the iliotibiel band rubbing against the femur on the outside of the knee.  The friction causes irritation and inflammation, and occurs when there’s a shortening of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Rash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If a cyclist falls onto a hard road surface, friction against the skin shreds off the top layers of the epidermis and the deeper-dermis.
The deeper the abrasion, the more blood — although even a mild skin abrasion is painful. Without proper treatment, abrasions can become infected.
Treatment
The simplest way to treat road rash used to be [...]]]></description>
