 Active.com - Hit your stride: Olympic-distance peaking
Triathlon fitness isn't like other skills, such as the ability to play chess or paint landscapes, that a person can cultivate to a peak level and maintain consistently, year-round, for a long time.
Achieving peak triathlon fitness requires that you build the training load gradually until you reach a point at which, for a very short time, you subject your body to more than it can handle -- a process called overreaching.
In triathlon, of course, it's necessary to achieve a general triathlon fitness peak that encompasses the swim, the bike and the run, but my focus here is on the run.
