Triathlon Training Guide For Beginners

By Marie Robinson


If you no longer want to maintain a passive attitude toward life and you are finally ready to get in the best shape you have ever been in, then you should compete in a triathlon. Before doing so though, you will need to properly prepare your body and your mind. There are many advanced triathlon training techniques you can make use of to prepare, but the following techniques will likely be the most beneficial ones you can use to immediately improve your health.

There are many steps you can take to increase your fitness, but few will have the impact a healthy diet can have on your performance. For this reason, you should make the foods you eat a primary part of the changes you make to your lifestyle to get fit. Once you start eating the right foods, you will see both your endurance and your performance ultimately greatly improve.

To get started with your new healthy diet, first take the time to understand which foods will likely boost your performance and which may hurt it. For example, heavy greasy foods will slow you down and have a negative effect on your ability to perform. By keeping your diet restricted to leafy greens, the foods you eat will not hinder your performance and it may even help to boost it.

Once you are confident that your diet is helping you be a better athlete, you will be ready to perfect your physical training exercises. To ensure your exercises are helping you perform better in rigorous competitions like triathlons, you should do your best to stretch your abilities while training. For example, by pushing yourself to go as far as you can while training, you will likely go much farther than you would during a competition and this will maximize your endurance.

To increase your mental toughness, you can also push yourself to go as far as possible during training. By doing so, you will likely find the shorter distances you must travel to complete a triathlon much easier to manage overall. Plus, if you find yourself hitting a wall of fatigue during a race, you can rely upon your experience with training fatigue to overcome it and finish the race.

Preparation does not only come in the form of physical exercises though. To increase your mental toughness, you must also prepare yourself for the trials that are ahead of you. By preparing yourself for the pain and exhaustion that will arise while racing, you will not be surprised by it when it hits you in the middle of a competition and this will give you an advantage.

Positivity may ultimately prove to be one of the most powerful tools in your tool belt nonetheless. Positivity can help you engage in a proper training regime that will get you extremely fit. Positivity can also be used to help you push through those rather challenging moments that are oftentimes just steps from the finish line as well.

Ultimately it will be the training program you use to get fit that will depict your success in this highly competitive sport. The steps of improving your diet and increasing the toughness of your training regime should help you lay the foundations of success though. Plus, once you are in the best shape of your life, you will look and feel great all of the time.
