Training Tips -- Brick Workouts
By Coach Tracy - February 13, 2008 - 12:47amThis is where we put it all together. Once you have mastered each of the individual sports, you need to work on doing them one after another. As you get closer to race day, you should incorporate brick workouts into your training schedule. A brick workout pairs two of the triathlon sports into back-to-back workouts with no rest in between.
Training Tips -- The Run
By Coach Tracy - February 13, 2008 - 12:46amOnce you climb off your bike and head out on the run the rest is downhill, figuratively, if not literally. Each of us is born with a natural running style, but that doesn't mean we can't benefit from some mechanical changes to make us more efficient. When you run efficiently, you can run faster and farther, with fewer chances for injury.
Training Tips -- The Bike
By Coach Tracy - February 13, 2008 - 12:45amOnce you have finished the swim, you will head to the transition zone and attempt to find your bike. When you check your bike in the day before the race, make sure to note some visual landmarks. These will help you find your bike when you get to the race site in the morning to get ready and when you are running up from the swim.
