The Importance Of Triathlon Training

By Ann Watson


Athletics is a type of sport admired by many individuals. There are many events that people compete for during the athletics competition. The rewards offered to the winners make this type of sport very interesting. During triathlon around three consecutive events are competed for. In most cases they include running, swimming and cycling. Triathlon training helps build up enough energy and gain the required experience that can improve the performance during the competition.

Swimming in many cases is performed as the first event during the competition. The event is in normal cases done in open waters such as rivers and lakes. One needs to be a good swimmer because at times the water is very deep and resting period may be limited. The buoyancy is at times contributed by the type of the clothing one wears during competition day. Swim suits are the most appropriate because one is also able to tolerate the changing water temperatures.

Cycling is usually the second event to be performed during the day of competition. The longest distance is covered during it and therefore one needs to prepare properly so as to complete the race. It is very important to ensure that the bicycle is mechanically okay during the day of competition. Also carry with you the drinking water mainly in a bottle. Then make sure that you bicycle is fitted with clip less pedals.

Running is actually the next event to be performed. This means that the participants are very tired after going through the other events. In most cases the one who has done the most appropriate practice wins. The experience is also an important factor that is required for one to win. Ensure that you develop the speed that is best for you with which you can complete the race. Feed on a good diet during training.

Enough training make one develop strong muscles with required enduring power. That plays an important role for the long distance runners. The increased muscles within the body also make the body compact hence reducing the incidence of injuries that may arise during the competition. They too cover the delicate parts of the body and thus minimizing injuries that may occur.

The training helps one develop the right posture which is mandatory for a good performance. This is brought about as a result of good form of the muscles. When a lot of training is done, there are too many fibers that develop. They reduce the time needed for the muscle to be broken down a condition that leads to fatigue.

Enough preparation for the race also increases the efficiency during the performance. This in turn results to excellent results that are good to talk about. There is the equipment that one is required to be equipped with before the day for completion. Some of these are, swimming suit, goggles, a bicycle, cycling short, water bottle, clip less pedals and good pair of running shoes.

Even though much training is required it is also very important to include the resting period in the schedule. After feeding it is very nice to rest so as to provide enough time for the digestion process to talk place. Mental preparation is also very essential after all other preparation has been done.
