£135 Feature-packed robe with eco credentials
KIT ZONE: CHANGE ROBE LONG SLEEVE

We were pleased to see this robe comes with an included 'stuff sack' which was welcome, as this is one of the bulkier robes on the market (although our sample is a size large and this tester would have fit into the medium). We can't use that as a negative, though, as that bulk is made up of a waterproof outer shell lined with the softest, snuggliest sherpa fleece that may ever have graced our body. All those materials are eco-friendly, too, as each robe is made from 90 plastic bottles or 2.5kg of ghost fishing nets.

The details really impress here, too. Pockets are both zippy, have a Velcro flap over them and are fleece-lined for hand warmth. An inner zipped pocket is useful for valuables, while cuffs have a Velcro strap, which is handy for keeping the long sleeves secured if you need to use your hands, while when let out there's plenty of room for changing.

How to Carb Load - Packing your working cells with carbohydrates in the build-up to your big race is a proven strategy to race stronger and faster...

Whichever distance triathlon you're racing, the intensity and duration of your activity will see your body tap into its stores of carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) to power your effort. While it's possible to top up your tank on the go, it's better to start your event with your stores full to the brim.

The Olympic Champion - On 31 July, Great Britain's Alex Yee put together arguably the greatest one-day performance we have ever seen at an Olympic Games to win gold. And we were there at the finish line to speak to tri's new poster boy...

The opening line of the race report read how 20 years on from New Zealand’s first and only Olympic triathlon gold medal, Hayden Wilde had put in a careerbest performance to regain the title for his nation. Then Alex Yee comes around the corner.Yee’s charge, seemingly from nowhere on the final lap of the 10km run in Paris, didn’t just help him become the most decorated Olympic male triathlete of all time, and didn’t just cap a rivalry that has been building for six years, it left seasoned watchers of swim, bike, run in awe. It will go down as one of the greatest triathlon races; Yee, still just 26, as one of the greatest triathletes. His medals from Paris added to the two from Tokyo, leaving his haul at two gold, a silver and a bronze, and counting.
