I would say rather than tri-suit for initial triathlon/s is to use Triathlon shorts and cycling jersey. You'll get more use out of the cycling Jersey in day-to-day use and it has zip in front to allow cooling when on the run!

I'm preparing for two distances: 70.3 and ironMan. For half ironMan I assumed one year of preparation is ok, and another year for full ironMan. I have a swimming background, but I really struggle with running. So most of my training are easy runs. Like, 5 days to run, 2 days to swim and 2 days to cycle. Often combine swim and cycling in one day.

@OneQuickThought 4 жыл бұрын

You should listen to your body. If you feel sore, take a rest. You could also experience Dom's, especially if you are not used to doing the distances on a regularly basis, your legs will feel pretty beat up and the lower portion of your back. I would recommend a rest week where you still regularly exercise, but at a lower intensity and with more of an emphasis on recovery activities. Yoga, stretching, light cardio. The foam roller is your best friend and will help to get more blood flow into your muscles. I hope this helps, awesome work on completing your first one 😀

Yikes! I've been bitten. I've never done a tri, but I've decided to do it. I learned to swim when I was 5-years-old. Last year, at the age of 62, I rode my bike 17,778 kilometers. This year, I'm on-pace to exceed 20,000 kilometers of cycling. I need to run comfortably. My resting heart rate is 46-49bpm, and it's normally 115-120bpm for zone 2. I'm pretty competitive, but it's okay as long as I finish. I've done a half-marathon in the past, so with some training, I'm sure I can do it. Can I get some encouragement?

I can recommend not having an expensive bike when you do your first triathlon. It's been 20 years since I gave up triathlon and there is one race that stick in my mind. Before this race I had a crash on my race bike and so I raced on my training bike with mud guards and a pannier rack. I was over taking people who were on full carbon fiber low profile time trial bikes that cost many thousands of pounds, and I was just going faster without even any tri bars just standard drops on my training bike. It was so funny I still laugh about it today. This was 20 years ago so a full carbon fiber bike would be several thousand pounds, don't spend that sort of money if you are slow. Being slow is perfectly reasonable everyone has to start somewhere, just make sure your bike matches your ability. Some people were racing on mountain bikes, they were slow and I have respect for them for giving it a go and racing. But come on if you spend more money on your bike than some people spend on a car then just do some more training so that you don't get overtaken by someone on a winter training bike with mud guards and a pannier rack.

This was a great video, so simple and so informative. Thanks in advance.

@pr0faker 6 жыл бұрын

depends on what length you want to start with, a full triatlon isn't something you can get done in a few months if you have learn to swim before training the swimming part. You might want to start with a sprint or a 1/4 triatlon after you have gotten your swimming skills up to basic standards. I know from when I was young it was 1 or 2 years once a week I think to learn how to swim, so to be able to swim will go faster for an adult who is fit enough. Depending on how fast you can learn it it shouldn't take more than about 10 sessions, maybe even faster, after that you can train to swim well and longer. I would say if you are decently fit, 1/4 triatlon should be no problem to finish. Pacing is everything as you will know from marathons.

Depends on how physically fit you already are, and your bf percentage, you could easily do a tri if you were at a moderate level of health and we're familiar with swimming biking and running. It really isn't that hard to complete one, to be competitive for one though. You are looking for a sub 30m 10km a sub 20 min swim and a sub 50 min ride for an Olympic tri, now that is extremely difficult.
