Training for a triathlon can feel overwhelming—three sports, limited time, and countless variables. The key? Balance and structure. Here’s how to create a week that supports performance and recovery.
???? The 3 Key Components of a Balanced Week:
- Frequency
Aim for 2–3 sessions each for swim, bike, and run per week, adjusting based on your strengths and weaknesses. - Intensity Mix
- One high-intensity workout per sport
- One endurance-focused session
- One technique/recovery or brick session
- Recovery Time
Schedule at least 1 full rest day or active recovery day. Your body improves during rest—not just work.
