Training Tips You Can Use Today

Training for a triathlon feels like juggling three sports at once, but you don’t need a fancy plan to make progress. Start by carving out three short sessions each week – one swim, one bike, one run – and focus on consistency instead of intensity. Mix in brick workouts (bike‑to‑run) to get your legs used to the shift. Nutrition is simple: hydrate early, fuel with carbs before long bricks, and replace electrolytes after each session.

Strength work isn’t optional either. A quick routine of squats, lunges, and core planks can boost your power on the bike and protect your joints during runs. Keep a training log, track how you feel, and adjust volume when you’re tired. Remember, recovery is part of the plan – a rest day or an easy spin can keep you from overtraining.

Gear choices also play a role. If you’re buying a new bike, look for a lightweight frame, reliable groupset, and aerodynamic wheels that fit your budget. For wetsuits, pick one that matches the water temperature you’ll race in; a snug fit reduces drag. Running shoes with good cushioning and a proper fit can shave minutes off your splits and lower injury risk.

Ready to sign up for a race? Check the event calendar below for dates, locations, and entry deadlines. Most races have a “late‑registration” fee, so mark your calendar early. If you’re new to the sport, consider a beginner‑friendly sprint distance – it’s a great way to taste the full‑tri experience without overwhelming mileage.
