In her recent Runner's World post, Coach Jenny Hadfield & active.com running expert shared 97 facebook friend comments on what factors make a PR.

Ideas included:

- hill training, weight training, diet changes, speed work, training groups, encouragement, mental changes, and more.

 

In your experience as a triathlete, what factors led to your most recent PR?

- Example: tighter transitions, better swim technique, stronger bike, or more power on the run? Or changes in nutrition, strength, training groups, or strategy?

    PR! Top 3 ingredients

    Increasing my overall base mileage throughout the winter has helped a lot to improve my endurance and speed.  I also focused on one or two speed sessions per week during my build phase and this also seemed to help.  I think it depends a lot on how experienced the athlete is...beginners can benefit a lot from increasing their time in the saddle, our on the roads, and in the pool.  Veterans may want to focus on speed work and strength training.
