Im led to believe the fenix 5 does that although the issue i have is im unable to do triathlon lol.
Finally got my bike last week though so you never know ;-)
Go for it mate, i've loved it, started proper swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago, needed to learn the front crawl properly as breast stroke was just too slow, and cracked a full mile last week in one go all front crawl.
Only need to do 2.5 miles on the full one next year.
That's been me until the last few weeks, so much more enjoyable after you get the technique correct.Wife is a swimmer and im about to start lessons with her as my technique is well, non existent.
Have to admit that the bike and running i look forwards too but the swimming has me filled with dread as ive never enjoyed doing it but thats probably because im so inefficient at it.
Couldn't tell you specifically but glutes are the key running muscle right? If you're lighter with more muscle then I guess you'll be faster but until you run it you'll never know. Also you might be slower but that might just be because of a bad day rather than physiological\\
The mother ship of Park Runs for me, as much as I like the smaller ones. My pop back this Saturday as it happens. My PB remains there (20:39)...
Here's a question. Due to a labral tear in my hip (surgery last call really and they don't really know enough about that type of operation at the moment apparently) I was told to build up my core muscles and do lots of stretches and perhaps only run on soft ground (that isn't going to happen). Although the latest advice seems to be just go run and this helps stimulate blood supply (I can never fix the tear as it's cartilage). I lost a lot of weight running to the point I started losing muscle too...I had no arse in the end.
So I (initially reluctantly) joined a gym a few months back to build up my core - I also do Yoga and Pilates there too...thought it was better than doing those stretches and exercises they give you at the hospital on printed A4 paper (usually sketched pictures of an old lady stretching on a chair whilst watching corrie).
What's happened is that I've bulked up quite a bit now (I'm there everyday doing most conceivable forms of cardio and weights), finally got an arse (Kettle Bell swings are ace fore the old glutes) and have a really good muscle/fat ratio.
Wondering however if this will effect my chance of challenging my running PB...I'm lighter (but with more muscle) but bulking up a little makes me think it would be detrimental to my overall speed...

I feel your pain - the swim for me was terrible. Daughter (who swims at a national level) has been trying to coach me but is getting a bit exasperated, I think. Been doing some open water sessions at Salford Quays as well, which have been very useful.
Ooh...morphing into a Triathlon thread.
Was a swimmer for years as kid so I have that I guess (daughter became a very good swimmer so swam whilst she was in her own squad).
Did a 100 mile bike ride on a rusty mountain bike, but my legs were absolutely fucked at the end of it (in fact the whole of my body was) and I've ran a half marathon.
Is there a decent 'starter' Tri I could look at next year? Got a bit of a bee in my bonnet over doing one so I may as well give on a crack...
