Training Tips
1. To prevent injuries, build a strong base of consistent aerobic training before entertaining speed training. Timex HR monitors are important during this training phase to ensure your effort is properly gauged.
2. Take the time to learn efficient swim technique. Get filmed and force velocity measured while being monitored regularly by an experienced technical coach . Drills and technique work should make up over 50% of one's weekly mileage, especially for triathletes without a swimming background.
3. Train with single-sport athletes in each of the 3 disciplines to get faster as a triathlete.
