For you who often take part in the triathlon races, you must understand, the preparation before the starting time is more important than knotting shoelaces or visiting a portable toilet in the race village. Try to arrive at the race location 90 minutes before gun time, so you have the opportunity to pick up the race pack (if possible on D-day), arrange your equipment in the transition area, and get the race number (BIB) on your body. Make sure you understand the passage to the transition area after completing the swim leg, as well as the direction to get out, when you enter the bike leg and run leg. When you feel the equipment is ready in place and, of course, ready to use, warm up in reverse triathlon phase sequence: Run a little, then bring the bike out of the transition area to pedal (warm up, and then put it back), and wear a wetsuit, get into the water, and swim for a few moments. This will ensure your equipment is ready for use. If you feel nervous at start, go to the side and count to five after gun time. This will prevent you from the crowd of other participants.

When someone that you are doing a triathlon, you might hear their comments, IRONMAN? Hardcore! But IRONMAN is actually a brand and triathlon race with a certain mileage - and one of the furthest. There are at least four distance categories in the triathlon. Before you start training, you must choose which one you will conquer.
There are different variations in the triathlon. The four classic categories are sprint distance, Olympic distance, half-IRONMAN (also called 70.3), and full-IRONMAN (also known as 140.6).
Which is right for you? Here how to decide.

#1 Sprint Distance Triathlon Training
As the distance increases from the race you take part in, it is not easy to determine the right volume of training each week because everyone's work schedule is different. But in order for you to face the triathlon with confidence, you must be able to swim at least 1.6 kilometers in open water, cycle 65-80 kilometers, and run 20 kilometers. And to give you an idea of ​​what the longest training you should do, most of coaches recommended this: Back-to-back training (commonly called double or brick), which involves cycling 65-80 kilometers and running 20 kilometers.

#2 Olympic Distance Triathlon Training
As the distance increases from the race you take part in, it is not easy to determine the right volume of training each week because everyone's work schedule is different. But in order for you to face the triathlon with confidence, you must be able to swim at least 1.6 kilometers in open water, cycle 65-80 kilometers, and run 20 kilometers. And to give you an idea of ​​what the longest training you should do, most of coaches recommended this: Back-to-back training (commonly called double or brick), which involves cycling 65-80 kilometers and running 20 kilometers.

#3 Half-IRONMAN Triathlon Exercise
As the distance increases from the race you take part in, it is not easy to determine the right volume of training each week because everyone's work schedule is different. But in order for you to face the triathlon with confidence, you must be able to swim at least 1.6 kilometers in open water, cycle 65-80 kilometers, and run 20 kilometers. And to give you an idea of ​​what the longest training you should do, most of coaches recommended this: Back-to-back training (commonly called double or brick), which involves cycling 65-80 kilometers and running 20 kilometers.

#4 Full-IRONMAN Triathlon training
The principle of IRONMAN's exercise routine is similar to half-IRONMAN, except for the longer distance. If this is your first IRONMAN, it's a good idea if you do the training at the peak of the training period. That is, you will swim for an hour, bike as far as 160 kilometers, and end with a run of 13-15 kilometers. This can be counted as the longest training session because you do three sports disciplines in one day.
So when do you know it's time to go to the next level? Is simple: Start from the bottom and build your way to the top. When you have completed at least one triathlon race in the sprint distance category, you will have the experience to find out if it is time to go to next level. Then move on to Olympic distance, half-IRONMAN, and full-IRONMAN.
