Coaching Tip of the Week:

How to start from scratch?

All of us started from scratch. How do you get started? How many workouts should I do per week? Can I train without a bike? What equipment should I prioritize?

 

I just spoke with a typical new triathlete. He has a running background and knows a few people who have completed IRONMAN races. He wants a piece of it and wants challenge himself and achieve a difficult goal. He also wants some help. Let's explore each of the following questions and share some our thoughts and experience.

 

How do you get started?

  • Find a club, coach or both
  • Acquire a training plan
  • Get the basic equipment
  • Ease into training keeping the sessions short

How many workouts should I do per week?

  • Ease into training keeping the sessions short and 3-4 per week with 3-4 recovery days
  • As the ability to recover, fatigue and soreness dissipate, you can start adding days and durations until you are able to do the workouts in your plan.
  • Keep a day off, if you need it

Can I train for the bike without a power meter?

  • Yes of course. Using power is ideal, but setting your HR training zones and training to HR has been done for decades.
  • One downside are higher intensity intervals with HR lag

Can I train without a bike?

  • Define bike. A gym stationary bike can be adequate if you are doing indoor triathlon.
  • If doing outdoor, you can get started with a stationary bike, but you will need a bike for racing outdoors.
  • Road or Tri bike recommended

What equipment should I prioritize?

  • If indoor triathlon - swimsuit, goggles, access to indoor bike, running shoes
  • If outdoor with pool - swimsuit, goggles, bike, helmet, bike shorts and top or tri suit, and running shoes
  • If outdoor and cool OW - wetsuit, tri suit, bike, helmet,
  • If you are open water racing this season, getting a wetsuit is a priority.
