Hi, Just found your channel(s) and am preparing for a mini triathlon in June. Thank you for the info. Already ordered your three books. Love the work you do. Very helpful. As someone who has never done anything remotely like this, I feel like your info will make me well prepared. Thanks again.

Great info. I have been setting out a plan and following. Swim portion is failing because I live on a lake but it's frozen now and the pool is 1.5 hours away. Come on spring. I do add 1 brick run and 3 strength sessions in a week.

[@evobe]

that was great info thanks! I also got your swimming program last year and honestly the drills help a ton.

[@Sylvia3740]

This is wonderful! Thank you!

Don't expect the race to go good - it will feel like crap! HAHAHAHA! Sold! I am super competitive, 56, have done a few marathons and a walker for the past 15 years in Alaska. Signing up for my first tri!

Awesome

[@codytibbs9885]

Next do Olympic distance please :)

[@the1gofer]

That intro is hard to get through. Feel like an infomercial.

[@advex4428]

What if I wanna do an occasional marathon, but still train as a triathlete all the way through it. Can the app do this, or would I have to sell the marathon as an Ironman to the app?

[@rhysthomas623]

An I right in thinking that the heart rate calculator is upside down? My zone one is something like 160bpm and my zone five is like 85bpm... Seems strange😜

[@Tamas_Torok]

Hi Taren! Is a brick session beneficial for someone how just running and cycling to become fitter and don't want to compete races?

[@ChurchiII]

Of course!

Hi. I really struggle with finding a training plan that accommodates my work schedule of working every other weekend (and sometimes part of each weekend). I dont have the same work schedule week to week (sometime need to work 3-4 days in a row), so what are some tips to adjust my training days. My work hours are too long and too tiring to squeeze in a workout. I am a nurse. I want to sign up for a sprint triathlon in May 2024 but I am afraid that I won't be consistent in my training. If I am left to figure out how to create a training week, I already know I will fail. I am pretty type A and would follow a training plan that works with my schedule. Thank you - any advice would be super helpful!

If you think that left to your own devices that you would fail then really what your asking for is a personal trainer to hold you accountable. But really things like training for a triathlon will still require some sort of personal will power, drive and consistency. We all actually have it within us to cultivate those things but your already setting yourself up to fail by saying you can't do it on your own. Maybe you could find a local triathlon club that would help you with your accountability. Btw I am also someone who's work is quite demanding and changes every week and I have spent the last 3 years trying to find ways to fit in my workouts 😂so hope this doesn't come across as condescending. What you should work on first is probably your mindset and the things you prioritise, actually you can do this and you have the capacity find when you need to exercise even when your tired, there are obviously loads of resources and beginners plans online that you can look at, yes they can be full on and require commitment, but the whole point is that a triathlon is hard work. Maybe do some research and be honest with yourself about how much time you have each week to commit to training. Look at how many hours you spend on your phone/watching TV, these could be hours training instead. Maybe your first goal is a step back from doing a triathlon and first work out how you can regularly fit in workouts each week. You could find some group classes and sign up to them to build up your general fitness first and once your ready find a triathlon to work towards.

[@sarahdykeman2024]

Where do you fit in strength training? I strength train 2x a week right now and want to keep that up while I train for a sprint

[@eloisetherien5806]

I'm curious about this, too! Did you find any helpful resources on this topic?

[@cnaustin1]

Omg. Bye.

[@AlbertoDrake27]

Awesome
