The Importance Of Triathlon Training

By Ann Watson


Watching athletics is not only admirable but also interesting. Athletics is a single sport that is composed of different events. This type of sport involves less team work but more of individualism which is not the case in many other type of sports. It is very rewarding especially for the winners. Triathlon is a type of competition in which three events are performed. These events are swimming, cycling and running. Triathlon Training gives the participant the required skills, energy and the experience in order to win the race.

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.

Muscles develop the right enduring power which is very important in order to put up with the fatigue. As a result of training the muscles that are developed makes the body hard and therefore reducing the chances of being injured during the competition. They also cover delicate rejoins such as the joints hence the chances of the injury occurring are very minimal.

Appropriate preparation enables one to develop a better form of body. This causes upright posture which enables one to compete favorably therefore increasing the chances of winning the race. The fatigue that comes about as result of doing a strenuous activity is brought about by the breakdown of the muscles. Too many fibers that are as a result of too much exercise prolongs the period required to break them down.

The efficiency of an individual plays an important role for one to win race. This is developed through well planned practice. There is equipment that one must have to consider him or herself as a participant. One should have, goggle, swim suit, running shoes, water bottle, pedals that are clip less bicycle and also cycling short.

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.
