Getting Back on Track for the 2023 Triathlon Season
If you took a break from triathlon training during the pandemic, it can be intimidating to think about getting back into the swing of things for the 2023 triathlon season. However, with a little planning and dedication, you can get back on track and be ready to tackle your triathlon goals.
Here are some tips for preparing for the 2023 triathlon season if you took a break during the pandemic:
- Start slow: If you haven’t been training consistently for a while, it’s important to ease back into it. Begin with shorter workouts and gradually increase the duration and intensity as you get back into the swing of things.
- Focus on your weaknesses: Take this opportunity to assess your strengths and weaknesses as a triathlete, and focus on improving the areas that need the most work. This could include swimming drills to improve your technique, hill repeats on the bike to build strength, or tempo runs to increase your endurance.
- Seek support: Training for a triathlon can be a solitary pursuit, but it’s always helpful to have a supportive group of people to help keep you motivated. Consider joining a local triathlon club or finding an online community of triathletes to connect with.
- Don’t be afraid to seek professional help: If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of where to start with your training, consider hiring a coach or personal trainer to help you get back on track. They can help create a customized training plan that takes into account your goals and fitness level.
- Stay motivated: Training for a triathlon takes time and dedication, and it can be easy to lose motivation. To stay motivated, set specific and achievable goals, reward yourself when you reach those goals, and find ways to make your training enjoyable.
With a little planning and dedication, you can get back into triathlon shape and be ready to tackle the 2023 season. Just remember to start slow, focus on your weaknesses, seek support, and stay motivated, and you’ll be well on your way to success.
