There's lots of trial and error involved when you're attempting your first triathlon. These days there's lots of advice floating around out there and it can get confusing at times. Here are the top three mistakes you should really try and avoid. If you avoid these, it will give you a better shot at achieving your Triathlon goals.
Poor Diet
It’s nearly sad to see the time and effort many people place into their Triathlon training only to stall their strength and staying power growth having an improper diet.
Avoid fast food; consume a proper balance of carbs, protein and fat. Improve your diet with vitamins and minerals but don't overdo it and make sure you are only consuming reputable supplements from reputable companies.
Overtraining
Almost always, the very first time you will go into the race over trained. The most difficult thing to learn about your exercising is when unwind. It’s very hard to persuade some athletes that relaxation is a vital part of their Triathlon preparing. Some will insist upon exercising regardless of how tired they are or how sore they are. They still pound out the mileage for fear they'll lose the conditioning they worked so hard to achieve.
Below are a few tips: If you start a workout, and just know it’s going to be a struggle and you just have no energy, stop the work out and go home. You obviously need more rest. When it gets really bad, take a complete week end and don’t do just about anything related to Triathlon training. Go away for a few days. You won't lose a thing and will resume your training rested and refreshed.
Final Week Preparation
It’s very easy to get caught up in the hype on Triathlon. Too much effort is spent in restaurants consuming food you don't normally eat.
Far too many athletes will do the swim course several times or hammer out long bike rides or pound through ten mile runs in the blazing heat. None of this helps you. You must stay relaxed and get lots of rest that final week. Before you reach the location, make sure you have a plan set out for the entire week, right up to race morning.
