Starting Late
If you had fitness goals for 2026 but didn’t get around to starting a plan for them yet, or a New Year’s resolution that’s fallen by the wayside it’s OK.
The good news is, it doesn’t need to be a new year or a new week or tomorrow to start. You can start today, right now if you want.
New to triathlon?
Whether a triathlon is on your bucket list, a major fitness goal or you’re looking for a rewarding challenge, here are some tips for those who are taking their first steps on their triathlon journey.
Off Season
If you’ve had a longer season than normal, or have felt particularly drained by your final race or felt that you “under-performed” at your final race, you may need a slightly longer off season. It’s also important during your goal setting for the following season to consider how long your season will be next year. If you’re planning an ‘A’ race in the middle of the Summer, it may make sense to take a shorter off-season. If you’re planning on racing into this time next year, make sure to take plenty of time in your return to substantial training.
Should you Get a Coach?
Everyone has different reasons for taking part in sport, and within triathlon many of us have different goals to aim for, and desire different outcomes from participating in races throughout the year. While you might expect this article to be a bit biased, before we talk about some of the pros of investing in coaching, we want you to keep in mind that this isn’t for everyone.
