 For all too long we have all heard how difficult it is to train for a triathlon. Let's cut to the chase, triathlons are more accessible than anyone has led most people to believe. I meet people all the time who do marathons and half marathons who tell me they would love to do a triathlon but the training involved is too long. It is time to dispel that notion. During our first LA Triathlon Super Camp at the Home Depot Center discussions between the coaches and myself were taking place on the disparity of training methods for triathlons. I saw a lot of deer-in-the-headlights looks from those who trained nowhere near what the mega-trainers were doing in the group. Sure, if you are training to do long distance events that is one thing, but for the LA Triathlon Olympic or Sprint distance, that is another.
We decided to launch the "One Hour Per Day (or Seven Hours per Week)" Training program. The first thing you might say is "isn't one hour a day the same as seven hours per week?". Not necessarily, you may split the program into 7-one hour sessions, or 5-one hours and 1-two hour session, or whatever combination you desire. This is flexible depending on your schedule.
Ok, there are a couple of assumptions--the fine print as we say. You must know how to swim. No, that does not mean you are a great swimmer, but at least know how. If you do not, we can direct you into some swimming instruction to have you learn how to swim in quick fashion. If you know how to swim, we need to work with you to swim more efficiently. The second assumption is that you have no health or injury problems which will prevent you from doing the sports of swimming, cycling or running. Finally, you will need some equipment. You need a swimsuit, goggles, a bike (not a $5000 bike either--just a comfortable bike for you. It can be mountain, road, or cruiser--you decide), a helmet, running shoes, and whatever you like to wear while cycling or running. That is it. We will go with the basics, and add options where it might make sense. This will be all about pacing yourself to finish the LA Triathlon comfortably.
