220 Triathlon history

Started in 1989 by a dedicated enthusiast working out of his Swindon flat, 220 Triathlon has since grown to become the magazine of record for UK triathletes of all abilities looking to improve their times and get more enjoyment out of the sport.

In both the print magazine and on this very website you'll find advice from some of the world’s best coaches, physios, nutritionists and athletes that will help you keep you informed and in shape for the year ahead.

Whatever you need advice with, we can help. … and what does the number 220 refer to? The original method of estimating your maximum heart rate (and thus your training heart rate range) was to subtract your age from 220.
