Sprint Triathlon Training

Are you thinking about signing up for a sprint triathlon this year? Perhaps you're a complete beginner just trying to decide if sprint triathlon training is right for you. Or maybe you're a seasoned veteran of triathlons, but you want some handy tips to enhance your sprint triathlon training this year. No matter who you are, the Rock Star Triathlete Academy coaches have a few ways to make triathlon training productive, efficient and enjoyable.

1. Sign-Up Now. That's right. Don't wait until 4 weeks out from the race. By signing up right now, you'll trigger some very powerful components of your psyche - specifically the parts that inspire you to get off the couch or out of bed and begin your sprint triathlon training. The pressure of knowing that you are signed up for an event provides intrinsic motivation ("must be ready!") combined with extrinsic motivation ("can't embarrass myself!". The latter motivation will be even more powerful if you tell the whole world that you signed up for a sprint triathlon.

2. Make Your Plan. Here's how to perfectly design your sprint triathlon training plan: a) pick the date of the race - that's your race and taper week; b) take the 4-6 weeks leading up to that week - that's the part where your workouts build in intensity and race specificity; c) take the 4-6 weeks before that - that's the part where each workout becomes longer and you develop more endurance; d) take the 4-6 weeks before that - that's the part where you hone your skills like swim drills and run drills and strength training. Voila! A sprint triathlon training plan!

3. Test. There is nothing else that even comes close to motivating you than a test. One of the biggest mistakes that triathletes make during sprint triathlon training is not taking a baseline measurement, then repeating that measurement several times leading up to the race. Try to test every 4 weeks: a 500m swim test, a 1 mile run test, and a 3 mile bike test are perfect measurements for a sprint triathlon.
