Training Philosphy
Balance
- Too much of anything—training and triathlon included—probably isn’t a great thing.
- Being a triathlete doesn’t have to mean eating celery and waking every morning at 5 am.
- You can set lofty triathlon goals and still have a social life, hold a full-time job, and enjoy your family.
- A lot of triathletes go through life exhausted by thinking that riding an extra 50 miles or swimming another 3000 meters will change everything. There’s a better way.
- We’ll show you training techniques that will make you faster without wearing you out.
- Following an off-the-shelf plan will probably waste a lot of your time because it's not tailored to your needs. We'll customize your training to meet your needs and your lifestyle.
- You're not a pro triathlete. Why train yourself into misery?
- Workouts that are fun make you look forward to each training session--not dread some killer workout that requires 110% each time.
- We'll show you workouts enjoyable to you—whether you like scenic routes, social workouts, or powering on a treadmill with your Ipod blasting.
- Modest but consistent gains are the best way to get fast over the long term.
- An over-agressive plan that injures you will set you back months.
- The killer track workout that sends you into dry heaves will whip you into shape quickly—but it also might injure you.
- A lot of triathletes give up the sport after a couple of years of intense training. Maybe they get injured, or get tired of not having a social life. There’s a better way.
- We've found that those who enjoy the triathlon lifestyle stay healthy, have fun, make new friends, and make the sport part of an all-around balanced life. We'll show you how.
- Many triathletes in their 60s beat people half their age. They’ve taken the lifelong approach to being an athlete—it’s one that we support.
