Before you start some serious triathlon training, you need to establish the basic principles and assess your own personal level of fitness as well as your strengths and weaknesses. Here are some general guidelines to get you started.
Whether you’ve moved up from one sport to three or have been sedentary up until now, you need to progress slowly with a new sport. Your joints, muscles and tendons will all take time to adjust. This may mean putting off training with fitter people until you’ve acquired some basic fitness.
A good mentor can direct you when you have issues and will make it simpler for you to get back on track.
Triathlon requires more equipment than almost any other sport. You need the correct clothing and tools to train in three sports and eventually compete. Start with entry-level purchases. You will have enough equipment to find, sort out and keep maintained without having unnecessary items.
It is important to build your foundations in all three sports slowly. It gives you the skills to improve your efficiency of movement and the endurance to be able to complete race distances with ease. Having great stamina and ability empowers you to include speed later – if necessary – without your muscles or co-appointment separating.
