It’s early spring and I’m already feeling the need to do something other than the 3 sports that make up triathlon.

There are creative variations on the traditional triathlon distances (such as some races that make the swim longer to appease the swimmers among us, or the races that make the bike longer to make us feel like we’re getting deserved mileage from our pimped out time trial bike, or the races that make the run longer to simply be masochistic and cruel), there are generally 4 triathlon distances: Sprint, Olympic, Half-Ironman and Ironman. To assist you with your triathlon race season preparation, here’s a quick peak at the up sides and down sides of each triathlon distance.

A good triathlon coach has extensive racing expertise. This is necessary because it allows him or her to use this knowledge to properly train others. Additionally, a history of working with individuals of varying experience and fitness levels is also beneficial. Racing experience and the ability to apply it and teach others are characteristics needed by a triathlon coach.

Running, bicycling, and swimming are the required triathlon training activities, as there is a leg of each in the competition. The distances of each vary, depending on what level of race that the athlete has chosen to compete in. It is necessary to practice and build in each area, eventually being able to do all three in succession.

Cold weather is in full effect, and triathlon injury can become more frequent. Many of us return to cross-training and and other winter sports, but the lower temperatures decrease elasticity of tendons and ligaments, resulting in increased likelihood of injury.

‘Swimming is really the difficult part of half ironman!’. This is the next step as you finish your ironman distance race training and as you notice when discussing your plans and accomplishment. This one will be a little harder for you. By mere fact that you need to ride 112 miles rather quick then run a marathon. I feel pretty insulted by that comment as it minimalized the swimming portion which is the harder part. And maybe, this one is what scares you the most. Here’s a few helpful tips on just what this leg of the ironman triathlon will probably be like.

The Half ironman may be the the new triathlon benchmark. This length really seems to be a really preferred distance, particularly for the beginner. Also a well-liked one to check of your bucket list for bucket listers. I think its an excellent distance and has a good balance of challenge vs. time. If you’re considering doing a half ironman as your first triathlon I applaud you. You are going attempt something really unique. Down below is a schedule or roadmap on the measures that i recommend in order to meet your goal. Once again, I am not a coach or even a tri stud.

Research as of late, has shown recovery from an Ironman to take 19 day to recover from and maybe to a few more weeks or even months.
