International athlete Annie Emmerson's top triathlon training tips

With the May bank holidays providing us two extended weekends, many of us took the opportunity to enjoy the good weather whilst over indulging in good food and drinks.

According to new research, just under a third of us were resigned to putting on weight over this period as we spent our days off lying around in the sun, lazing around in front of the TV, or catching up on sleep. But as summer rapidly approaches, many of us will feel the pressure to get off the couch and into shape.

The research from Foster Grant Ironman sunglasses also found that nearly a fifth of us made a new year's resolution to do more exercise in January but have not kept to it. Fortunately now is a great time to take advantage of the light evenings, fresh air and sunshine that the summer months provide. With some simple basic kit, running, swimming and cycling form a fantastic combined workout at very little cost.
