We’re all guilty, even the pros, of occasionally making fundamental training mistakes.
More often than not, we’ve come into triathlon with some level of experience in one of the disciplines, but the other two can end up being a bit of trial-and-error. Which is totally understandable.

At Uni we had a lot of international athletes doing their preseason training at the sport science department. Many of the coaches told me that they actually plan their training around their recovery, not the other way around. Better recovery, more ability to improve.

I train 90% on running, 10% on cycling and no swimming. Maybe I'll do a triathlon one day...

I am only getting back into it. Training about 3 months. Race in 3 weeks. I try get 1 swim in a week of about 1.5k. Try for 2 cycles per week and 3 runs. Might do a little run off the bike to get legs back use to it. Try to do the 4 week build/ recovery but with a 3 year old child it's hard to fit it all in. Use to do 15 hours per week. Lucky to get 5 now

@markthrelfall3577 5 жыл бұрын

Niki #0K it’s not impossible. Obviously don’t expect to perform to your best ability, but you’ll definitely be ok. You’ll need to be super focussed though, and make sure you really stick to your plan if all you have is less than 10hrs per week. You’ll be fine. Best of luck. I’d love to hear how it goes
