Triathlon training mainly involves conditioning the body without forgetting recovery and adequate sleep. Triathlons indulge in various training activities, including biking, swimming, and jogging. I advise my clients to incorporate resistance exercises to retain lean muscle that may be lost during high volume training. It helps lower injury risks. I ensure their program has difficult workouts for developing fitness, easier ones for recovery, and longer exercises for boosting endurance.
Race tips
Two days before training, I advise on the following;
- Avoid wearing new training outfits.
- Know the race direction from start point to end plus the landmarks, including up hills and downhills.
- Clip your toe nails.
Night before
- Arrange your gear, including bike, run gear, and one for special needs.
- Have adequate sleep.
- Eat your usual food- I recommend doing this three days before the major day.
On the race day
- Eat normal food a few hours before the race. I recommend 2 hrs.
- Cloth in layers, such as hut, sweat pants, and tri suit among others.
- Ensure to arrive an hour before the starting time.
- Do not forget your special needs bag, which can have food, lubricants, or liquids.
- Know when the transition area will be closed.
