Endurance Training
To build endurance for a triathlon, focus on long, steady-state workouts such as swimming, cycling, and running. Incorporate interval training to improve cardiovascular fitness and increase overall endurance. Gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts to prepare for the demands of a triathlon.
Strength Training
Include strength training exercises to improve muscular endurance and prevent injury. Focus on compound movements such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and push-ups to build overall strength. Incorporate core exercises to improve stability and balance, which are crucial for triathlon performance.
Speed Training
To improve speed for a triathlon, incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) into your workouts. Include sprint intervals during running and cycling sessions to improve speed and power. Additionally, practice transitions between disciplines to improve overall race performance.
