Triathlon Running
Triathlon Training Can Benefit All Levels of Fitness
Just because Triathlon involves three different disciplines as the name suggests, doesn't mean that you have to be an elite athlete to enjoy the benefits of this type of exercise, whether you consider yourself a “fitness freak” or a “coach potato” .
As a keen sports woman, I have always been interested in keeping fit and recently trained for my first Triathlon. The training is varied and challenges different muscles and as a result, there is less chance of injury or strains. If you are not competitive, there is no need to enter a race, just try and vary your exercise.
A triathlon consists of three sections as the name suggests; swim, cycle and run. If you intend to compete you will need some equipment, namely a swimsuit and goggles, running shoes, shorts and t-shirt and a bicycle and helmet.
It is important to invest some time and money in your running shoes if you want to avoid injury. It is advisable to go to a specialist running shop, where you will get professional help choosing a shoe that suits your foot. A pair of running shoes should last about 500 miles. Some triathletes wear a garment called a “tri suit”. This is either a one or two piece outfit that is a cross between a swimming costume and running shorts and vest. The advantage of this is that you don’t waste time changing out of your swimming costume into your running clothes after the swim section of the race. A good quality bike helmet is essential and will be checked by an official before you race. You will not be allowed to compete without one. If you want to look good too, make sure the kit you buy is in your best colours, that way you will feel good before you even start.
If however you just want to benefit from the exercise and never intend to take part in a race you can easily do the bike and run section in the gym.
Swimming is an excellent form of exercise for everybody. The water supports your body so you are less likely to get strains or pulled muscles. Very quickly you will find your body is more toned and you feel fitter. The only disadvantage is that swimming is non weight bearing.
It is important to do some weight bearing exercise to keep bones strong and healthy. This is where running or walking is vital. Start gently and built up your speed and distance. Fitness is quickly improved and bones strengthened.
Cycling is an excellent alternative to running. It works different muscles and is great way to see the countryside around you.
There are triathlon, running, cycling and swimming clubs all over the world. By joining one of these you will get the best advice, meet new people and get the motivation you need to keep going.
Remember that any training you do, you do at your own pace and for your own benefit. Never worry about how fast and furious anybody else is going. This is about you and your goals.
