7 Triathlon Training Tips By Specialists

By Douglas Bailey


Triathlon events around the world are receiving more participants by the day. Many people register and begin preparing for the big day but only a few enjoy the outcome or achieve expected results. Some end up injured and have to begin life a fresh after this frustration. The outcome you get depends on the triathlon training program you undertake. According to accomplished athletes and sporting scientists, there are tips that will enable you achieve desired goals.

Lack of a professional schedule will lead to the collapse of a perceived triathlon giant. Participating in triathlons takes more than being fit and managing to cycle long distances. It is about building a fitness foundation that later branches into other areas like cycling and swimming. Do not focus on a single sport yet. You will lack the basics that define a competitive athlete, which is the essence of triathlons.

It makes no sense to exert pressure on your body during every exercise session. Too much pressure leads to fatigue in the long run. There is need to have a program divided between pressure and relaxation sessions that should be designed in consultation with a professional. Workout is also determined by your rate of heart beat. This understanding helps you to handle competition and your body while either under pressure or relaxed.

Relaxation moments are not set for dormancy. They are vital in helping you understand your body. How well you use them will be reflected in your competitiveness. The release session offers a psychological reward to your system. It allows fat to be mobilized in order to supply vital energy, the density of your capillaries is also enhanced so that blood and waste can effectively flow in and out of muscles respectively. Heart stroke is mastered to know the energy output during competition. Professional guidance will enable you take full advantage of these break moments.

Hiring a coach helps you tap into benefits that can never be enjoyed working alone. A coach enables you to identify your limit. You may work with a real coach or professionally prepared videos and podcasts. It is easier to identify your strengths and weaknesses when working with a coach. By learning your limits, you will easily plan and implement your conquest during competition.

Avoid paying a lot of attention on speed at the expense of endurance. This will help you maintain a constant speed which is key to winning triathlons. Identify your rate of pace regression. This will give you an idea of performance over the long period. It is muscular endurance that wins triathlons and not speed.

Triathlons are not about fun all the time. Some participants have been injured or bruised because they thought that preparation was a fun activity. The need to find the right gear and apparatus cannot be overemphasized. It also pays to understand all the rules that will govern the sport you will be engaged. All the energy and time spent preparing will go to waste if your target is not winning the competition.

Beginners are anxious during preparation and will extend activity to the last minute. This denies the body the recovery period and the energy needed to make the final push to victory. Your preparation should enable you finish the race happier, more accomplished and ready to take on the next race.
