Out on the Bike

The name of the game is to have fun. It's only a three-letter word, but it's very important.
You should be aiming for up to 5 exercise sessions a week. At least 3 of them should be specific to triathlon (so swim, bike or running training) but other exercise such as a gym session or ‘cardio’ session (where your increasing your heart rate – whether that be a different sport such or activity like paddling, aerobics etc). Cross training is good because it works on different muscles and keeps your training interesting.

It’s important to listen to your body – you should be pushing yourself, but not beyond a comfortable level. If it hurts or you start to feel dizzy or nauseous, stop.

Try to increase either the time (how long your training session is) or the intensity (how hard you’re training) of each session from one week to the next. Don’t plan to increase both in the same session.

You will be doing more exercise so it’s important that you properly fuel your body. Healthy eating is a key component to effective training.
