4 Ways Ultra Running Can Help You Tri Better

I purposefully tackled ultra running (running events more than 26.2 miles) this year to make me a better runner. Wow, has it paid off. I've noticed some cool side-effects:

1. Running 4 hours at a time makes a 65 mile bike ride seem short. I just cranked out my favorite epic ride like it was a stroll in the park. I train for ultras by running 4 hours. Running. 4 hours. 4 hours on foot makes 3.5 hours on the bike seem like laying in bed. There's a few sections of that ride that used to seem to drag on forever. Now they just fly by.


2. The higher effort level of running, applied at extended periods of time, trains you to bike more like a pro triathlete. Simple fact - running requires a higher heart rate than biking. Ultra Running puts you in a higher HR bracket for hours and hours on end. When you get on a bike, you'll find that you can sustain a harder aerobic effort than ever before.


3. Stuff that seemed hard is now much easier. Wandering around the woods with horrible pains and no aid station for 6 miles takes some getting used to. Endurance sport workouts come with highs and lows. The lows of Ultra Running can be really low. Only running really drives your legs into the ground, much worse than being able to switch up sports and swim/bike/run. Learn to survive it and the lows of triathlon don't seem that bad.


4. Ultra Running Translates Well into the Bike. Some sports assist you at doing others. Swimming helps surfing, biking helps swimming, weight lifting helps wrestling... on and on. I found out that going long on the run can really help you out on the bike. I can feel much more power coming through my quads and calves. I haven't been biking much at all for several months and then hopped on my bike and popped off a long ride at a decent speed and incredibly low heart rate.  I bet you can, too!
