In our August issue of Triathlete, we take you inside the sport’s lifestyle. We break down the top 15 cities to live in for triathletes—from metropolises to small towns. We also tell you the best bike shop cafés in the country. Rising star Terenzo Bozzone sits down for an in-depth profile. We review 24 of the latest running shoes, and also show you how to bike a faster half-Ironman in this month’s training plan.

Also inside: find out if muscle cramping preventable, discover the best sunglasses for your face shape; learn why you should take a midseason break, and come along as we talk nutrition with a Tour de France specialist.

And don’t miss our monthly tips on training, gear, nutrition and more for all things swim/bike/run.
