Triathlon Training Plans

Posted By rfreed

I realized after my first Triathlon that if I wanted to Race with the pro’s, I’d have to train like the pro’s. Understand the following points thoroughly if you want to be successful with triathlons.

In every city there is someone that is training more than you are!In every city there is someone training harder than you are!and in every city there is someone training longer than you are. How can you beat them?

Professionals in all walks of life know that having a plan for success is the most important piece to accomplish your goals. Triathlon training is no different.

Here’s how! You develop a plan that takes the time you have to train and turns every minute of it into more effective and efficient training than your opponent can accomplish. You still train long and hard, but you do it with a defined purpose designed to bring the best athlete out of you on race day.

Don’t leave your training up to chance, train with strategy and purpose and you will find that on race day, no one will touch you.
