Some triathlon related things you could do if you’d like to help out the planet
THREAD...
1. Donate your used trainers.
Stop them going to landfill and put them to good use.
Soles4Souls - https://soles4souls.org/ ">https://soles4souls.org/">...
So far Soles4souls have put 56 million trainers to good use!

2. Race local.
Hit 2 birds with one (metaphorical!!!) stone.
Save travel emissions AND support local businesses.
Alternatively there are plenty of ways you can off-set your emissions when you do have to travel to those big races

3. Train from your front door as much as possible.

4. Buy nutrition in bulk.
Training nutrition packaging isn’t great. Consider buying in bulk to reduce this. Also worth looking at bulk powers rather than dissolvable tablets and protein bars

6. Upcycle your old inner tubes.
Wallets, belts, swim ankle band?
(always patch old tubes and continue to use when you can!)
