To jumpstart your
triathlon training, see
our three-part workout
on page 115.TRIATHLON:
YOU CAN DO THIS!
WHETHER IT’S YOUR FIRST RACE OR YOUR 50TH,
THESE PROVEN TIPS AND TECHNIQUES WILL
HELP YOU CONQUER ANY COURSE IN RECORD TIMEFinding time to train for one sport is
hard enough, so training for three must be
impossible, right? Not if you do it right,
says Gold Coast-based Olympic triathlete
Ryan Fisher. In fact, tri training can be
easier than your current routine. It can
also protect you from injury, earn you
big-time bragging rights and get you in the
best shape of your life.
The key to finishing your first triathlon,
or doing better in your next one, is
efficiency – not endlessly excruciating,
soul-crushing, joint-smashing workout
sessions, says Fisher. On the next three
pages we’ll show you strategies for
swimming, biking and running so you can
hit the starting line with confidence – and
the finish line faster than ever.
