Swimming, cycling or running. Which part of triathlon performance is the most important in order to achieve best result in race? Majority of science community is leaning on fact, that despite running is not the longest part of race, it is determining the final result the most. Therefore the aim of this study was to reveal how we could improve running performance in triathlon by improving running mechanics as well as utilizing strength training and plyometry training as training modalities which might be very beneficial for affecting performance in triathlon globally. We are presenting practical guides, exercises supported by science and know-how of many strenght and conditioning professionals. Positive impact of strength training, plyometry training and running mechanics training was found when it comes about improving running economy, maximal aerobic speed, anaerobic treshold, muscle absorbtion and energy utilization ability etc. Simultaneously with these, there were no decreasments in VO2 max, bodyweight or others parameters. This article is part of VEGA 1/0788/16 (Sports performance structure and optimization in triathlon and swimming).
