Our Athletic Training Steps for Your Triathlon
Decide on a Goal:
There are many different types of triathlons, which range in intensity, length, and structure. When you decide to enter a triathlon, you will be able to decide how long you want the swimming, running, and cycling sections to be. We encourage first timers to do a triathlon sprint, then to work their way up to an Olympic triathlon. You can even do a half sprint if you are not sure how your body will handle the challenge. Our athletic training will help you prepare for whatever level triathlon you decide to do. Once you pick out your type, we can train you accordingly and also provide you with techniques that will help you work up to a hard level.
Build Up Your Body:
It is never a good idea to decide to do a triathlon and then to attempt it with no training. Even if you are in fairly good shape, you will likely push yourself too hard and get in a dangerous situation if your body is not properly trained for each individual section of your triathlon. Don't injure yourself by trying to participate with zero athletic training. Our training will not only get your body in shape for your triathlon, but it will also help you follow a better diet, have a toned body, and succeed in whatever workouts you put your mind to in the future. We will start with the basics, jogging and running to get your joints lubricated and prepared for harder exercise. We will then focus on your swimming and cycling. Once your muscles and joints are used to the basic routine of running, swimming, and cycling, we will build up your muscles with harder sets of each.

Remember to Rest
Resting is nearly as important as adequately exercising. If you push your body to the limit every day but never allow it time to heal and build up muscle, it will just become weaker. Give yourself a rest day to allow your muscles to rebuild and strengthen. You will thank yourself a few days later when you can push harder and further than ever before.
These are just some small steps in a bigger program that we will create for your individual needs. When you visit us for athletic training to pursue your dream of completing a triathlon, we will get to know you on a deeper level. We will strive to understand your body's needs, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Any exercise routines or nutritional standards we set up for you will be something you can accomplish with proper athletic training.
