If you’re looking to take your fitness to the next level and challenge yourself, participating in a sprint triathlon training program might be just the thing for you to give you a new challenge. The combination of swimming, cycling, and running makes for a challenging and rewarding experience and give you a new level of fitness. But before you jump into your first triathlon, it’s important to have a solid plan in place to not only finish the race but crush it.

In this article, I’ll provide you with a range of tips and tricks to help you prepare for your first sprint triathlon, pulling the lessons from my own experience of entering my first triathlon this summer. Please note, that I am NOT a seasoned pro. I’m sharing these tools as a health coach who has just completed my first race. I will share the tips and strategies that I followed, as well as the ones I wish I had followed. I’m basically creating the article that I wish I would have read before my first race.

By following these tips and tools I hope that you will feel that much more prepared for conquering your first sprint distance triathlon and experience the incredible sense of accomplishment that comes with crossing the finish line.

So let’s dive in and get ready to crush your next race!

Benefits of participating in a Sprint Triathlon

Participating in a sprint triathlon can offer many physical benefits as well as being a great mental challenge as you bust through your comfort zone. Firstly, it provides a full-body workout, helping you build endurance and strength in multiple muscle groups. The combination of swimming, cycling, and running engages your arms, legs, core, and cardiovascular system, resulting in improved overall fitness. I personally loved that training for a triathlon to help to just keep things different. I loved exploring each of the disciplines to really break up my training and gave me a welcomed shift in focus. 

I’m also pretty lucky that I get to do my training in a pretty glorious place of the French Alps in the summertime, which I’m sure certainly helped the enjoyment factor. I may have feelt slightly differently if it had been in the autumn months of the North West of England where I am originally from.

In addition to the physical benefits, participating in a sprint triathlon also offers mental strength and resilience. The dedication and discipline required for training instil a sense of determination and perseverance that can carry over into other aspects of your life. I know I came away from my first race being very humbled by my poor performance on the cycling section. The cycling was certainly my weakest area and one that I will work more on in the future. Though I use this as a reminder that it’s good to be a beginner at times, you have to embrace to suck to overcome any challenge.

Completing a triathlon is a testament to your hard work and commitment, boosting your self-confidence and providing a sense of accomplishment that will stay with you long after the race is over. No matter how fast you do your race, the real win is in just crossing the finish line.

In the video below I share the full experience of training for my very first sprint triathlon.

Understanding the different components of a sprint triathlon

Before diving into training, it’s important to understand the different components of a sprint triathlon. The race typically consists of three disciplines: 750-meter swim, 20km cycle, and 5km run. The swimming portion can take place in a pool or open water swim, depending on the race. The bike leg is usually done on a road bike, though some races allow you to ride a mountain bike. Finally, the running portion is a standard road race, typically 5 kilometres in length. However, do check the distances for your individual race as they do vary slightly in distances.

The sport of triathlon requires specific skills and techniques. For swimming, mastering proper breathing, stroke technique, and open water navigation are essential. I noticed a big difference between training in the pool versus the lake. Not being able to see the nice lines at the bottom of the pool, keeping in a straight line and even the water consistency felt different. So be sure to keep that in mind when your training starts.

Cycling requires a solid understanding of bike handling, gear shifting, and pacing strategies, though I wouldn’t get too bogged down with this on your first race, a lot of that will come with time and experience. As long as you can still ride a bike, the rest will come. 

Finally, running demands good form, efficient stride, and mental resilience to push through fatigue, running on very wobbly legs after the cycle is certainly something to get used to. By dedicating time to developing these skills, you’ll be better prepared for race day. As I shared in the above video, these were certainly some steps I missed from the training for my first triathlon experience.

Setting goals and creating a training plan

Setting goals can really support your triathlon journey, making it fun and giving yourself those clear targets to work towards. Determine what you want to achieve, whether it’s simply finishing the race or aiming for a specific time. Once you have your goals in mind, it’s time to create a training plan that suits your schedule and abilities.

When structuring your training plan, it’s important to include a mix of workouts that focus on each discipline, as well as rest days for recovery. Aim to gradually increase the duration and intensity of your workouts over time, allowing your body to adapt and improve. I upped my swimming too quickly and as I was not used to swimming freestyle (also known as front crawl) I did start to experience some niggles in my shoulder and my elbow as a result.

Remember to listen to your body and adjust your training plan accordingly. If you’re feeling fatigued or experiencing any pain, it’s important to prioritise rest and recovery to avoid injury. Consistency is key, but so is balance. Finding the right balance between training and rest will ensure you stay motivated and injury-free throughout your journey. And I highly recommend getting advice from a physical therapist should niggles and pains start to flare up.

I found that most training plans I could find online were obviously focused on each of the training elements, but I know as a midlife woman, it’s essential to maintain muscle mass and strength. So I worked on a training schedule that kept straining at the forefront of the plan.

Here is a base example of a 12-week beginner sprint triathlon training program that includes 2 full body strength training sessions on a 5 training days a week training plan.

This plan includes five training sessions per week, with a focus on maintaining strength through two strength training sessions each week and two total rest days. Be sure to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, and tailor the plan to your specific fitness level and needs.

Gear And Equipment For Sprint Triathlon Training

To really excel and put in your best effort in your sprint triathlon, having the right gear and equipment can really help. However, I know when I started I wanted to do it in the cheapest way possible. I wasn’t sure if I was even going to like it. So ask around and see what you can borrow, or use second-hand places such as Vinted.com

I wanted to do my first race on the cheap I have shared which are the essentials and then the nice to have for each category.

 Here are some recommendations to consider

1 Swim

Invest in a well-fitting wetsuit, goggles, and a swim cap to enhance your performance in the water. Consider using a swim buoy for open water training to increase visibility and safety.

I invested in a Trisuit as I knew I wanted to feel comfortable and also not have to faff around during transitions (see below). Also, check the rules for your race as in some races it’s mandatory. to have a wetsuit. This is dependent on the water temperature. I was lucky to be doing the race in the summer so it wasn’t essential. Though a wetsuit can help with buoyancy I was glad I didn’t have to waste time getting it off after the swim, because I already wasted essential time doing other things lol!

Zone 3 Swim Cap £6

ESSENTIAL: This will be my future cap of choice just because you know, pink! I loved the Zone 3 Trisuit and it will be colour-coordinated, though they do come in many different colours

Findway Swimming Goggles £14.99

ESSENTIAL: I actually hated the goggles I got. They fogged up and leaked. After researching and checking reviews, plus finding ones that are. agoo price. These will be my next purchase,

Swim Bouy £11.99

NICE TO HAVE: Highly recommended if you are new to open-water swimming. Having a bouy was just sensible but gave me a sense of confidence when swimming in the lake away from the shore during training.

Zone 3 Aspect Women Wetsuit £161.09

NICE TO HAVE Depending on race rules. Though I didn’t use a wetsuit this one is at the top of my want list. You can also look at hiring wetsuits too if you look to the race organiser they may have contacts available

2. Bike

A road bike with clipless pedals and cycling shoes can significantly improve your efficiency and power transfer on your pedal stroke. But I feel for your first race just get whatever you can. I borrowed a bike for my first year and though I’d eventually like my own that is the right size for me. When just starting out always borrow what you can.

Make sure to have a helmet, a bike pump, spare tubes, and basic repair tools for any unexpected issues during training or on race day. It would also be wise to know how to do the basics, for example how to change a tyre. Though I will admit, that’s still on my to do list for the next time.

Specialist Short Course Triathlon Shoe

NICE TO HAVE: I opted to get some second-hand cycling shoes for my first race. I got them for €10 on Vinted. Going forward I would opt for triathlon-specific shoes which are designed for quicker transitions and also not need to wear socks

Exclusky Bike Helmet £41.99

ESSENTIAL: I got a helmet from Decathlon but I do like the look of this high rated helmet simply as it has a light on the back which is a great feature for training rides.

I’m still in the research phase for one day making the purchase for my own road bike, so I can’t make any recommendations at this point, but it’s obviously essential. But will add any updates as soon as I make my own bike purchase and additional bike accessories such as heart rate monitor and computer to improve efficiency for training rides.

3. Run:

A good pair of running shoes that provide proper support and cushioning is really all that you need for this stage and Hoka’s are my go-to running shoe. I simply used my trisuit (see below) for all 3 stages. However, I do wish I had invested in a lightweight sports bra as the tri suit alone did not give enough support for my body in the run section.

sprint triathlon training program

Hoka One Trail Running Shoe

ESSENTIAL: I like Hoka’s for comfort and stability. These say they are a trail triner but are known for being more hybrid due to lower grip lug meaning that they can also be used just as well on the tarmac. My go-to store is always Sportsshoes.com as you can buy last season’s model at more affordable prices.

sprint triathlon training program

Under Armor Heatgear High Impact

NICE TO HAVE: I made the terrible mistake of not wearing a bra under my trisuit. not one. I will make again as it made the run section pretty uncomfortable. When choosing a sports bra be sure to get a next-to-skin feel that does not have excessive material or padding but still offers good support. The above is my bra of choice.

4. Transition:

A triathlon-specific kit or tri-suit can streamline your transition between disciplines, eliminating the need for changing clothes. Additionally, a race belt to attach your race number and elastic laces for your running shoes can save valuable time.

Race Belt

NICE TO HAVE: Just means you don’t have. to put pins through your clothes. Especially if wearing a tri-suit

Zone 3 Trisuit

NICE TO HAVE: I decided I did want to invest in a trisuit and I was very happy with the Zone 3 suit. Super comfy and very well made. Also check out sportsshoes.com as they also have some great prices on tri kit.

Elastic Laces

NICE TO HAVE: I will definitely get some elastic laces for my next race to speed up my transitions and are relatively cheap.

Changing Robe

LUXURY: Ok this one is certainly not essential. But as I will talk about on race day tips, I really would have loved one of these.

Remember to test and familiarize yourself with your gear and equipment during training to ensure everything fits properly and functions as intended. Practice transitioning between disciplines to minimize any potential hiccups on race day.

Training Tips For Swimming, Biking, and Running

Each discipline in a sprint triathlon requires specific training strategies to optimize performance. Here are some tips to help you improve in each area:

Swim Workouts

– Focus on technique: Spend time practising proper breathing, body position, and stroke technique. Consider taking swimming lessons or working with a coach to refine your skills.

– Open water practice: If the race takes place in open water, make sure you incorporate open water swims into your training. This will help you become comfortable with sighting, navigation, and swimming in a less controlled environment. I didn’t do as much open water training and it’s one thing I regret. I got used to the comfort of the pool and underestimated how different it would feel in the lake. During the few training swims I did do I had my training bouy and also had my kids on the paddleboard next to me when training. These two elements did help me feel more comfortable as the deeper water does freak me out somewhat at first.

– Build endurance: Gradually increase your swim distance over time to improve your stamina. Incorporate interval training to work on speed and efficiency.

Bike Workouts

– Build strength and endurance: Include longer rides in your training to build muscular endurance and aerobic capacity. Hill repeats and interval training can help improve your climbing ability and overall cycling speed. It’s also good to check the elevation of your race to see if you need to factor in more hill training.

– Work on bike handling skills: Practice cornering, descending, and riding in a group to improve your bike handling skills. This will increase your confidence and safety during the race.

Running

– Gradual progression: Increase your running mileage gradually to avoid overuse injuries. Incorporate both shorter, faster runs and longer, slower runs to improve speed and endurance.

– Run drills: Incorporate running drills, such as high knees, butt kicks, and strides, into your training to improve running form and efficiency.

– Brick workouts: Practice transitioning from the bike to the run by doing brick workouts, where you immediately follow a bike ride with a run. This will help your body adapt to the unique sensation of running after cycling. I did zero brick runs and it was only in the race I truly understood the meaning of the training title. You should definitely include a brick workout to help you get used to running on heavy and wobbly legs.

Incorporating strength training and cross-training into your routine

Strength training and cross-training are important components of your sprint triathlon training plan. Strength training helps improve overall muscular strength and endurance, reduces the risk of injury, and enhances performance in all three disciplines. Focus on exercises that target the major muscle groups used in swimming, cycling, and running, such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, and core exercises.

Cross-training, such as incorporating activities like yoga, Pilates, or mobility work can help improve flexibility, balance, and overall fitness. It also provides a mental break from the intensity of triathlon training while still engaging your muscles and cardiovascular system.

When incorporating strength training and cross-training into your routine, aim for two to three sessions per week, alongside your swim, bike, and run workouts. Be sure to allow for adequate rest and recovery between sessions to avoid overtraining and promote muscle repair and growth.

Sprint Triathlon Training Nutrition

Proper nutrition and hydration play a vital role in your sprint triathlon performance. Here are some strategies to consider:

– Fueling before workouts: Eat a balanced meal containing carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats 2-3 hours before training sessions. This will provide the necessary energy and nutrients to sustain your efforts.

– During workouts: During longer training sessions, consume easily digestible carbohydrates to maintain energy levels. Stay hydrated by sipping water or electrolyte beverages regularly.

– Recovery nutrition: After workouts, prioritize consuming a combination of carbohydrates and protein to aid in muscle recovery and glycogen replenishment. Opt for whole foods like lean meats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Have some healthy foods ready to consume after training to prevent you from diving into any food you can find in the cupboards as you come back feeling ready to eat a house.

– Hydration: Stay adequately hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. During training sessions, aim to take small sips of water or electrolyte beverages every 15-20 minutes to maintain hydration levels.

– Experiment and adapt: Everyone’s nutritional needs are different, so it’s important to experiment with different foods and hydration strategies during training to find what works best for you. Pay attention to how your body responds to different fueling options and adjust accordingly.

Preparing for race day – what to expect and how to handle nerves

As race day approaches, it’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves, I felt so anxious on race morning. Here are some tips to help you prepare mentally and handle race day jitters:

– Visualize success: Spend time visualizing yourself crossing the finish line, pushing through the hard sections, performing with strength and confidence and achieving your goal. This positive visualization can help build confidence and reduce anxiety. Believe in yourself!

– Practice race-day scenarios: During training, simulate race-day scenarios by completing workouts at the same time of day as the race and wearing your race gear. This will help you become familiar with the sensations and routines of race day.

– Develop a routine: Establish a pre-race routine that includes a proper warm-up, stretching, and mental preparation. Stick to this routine on race day to create a sense of familiarity and calmness.

– Have a positive mindset: Embrace any challenges or setbacks as opportunities for growth. Stay positive and remind yourself of your training and preparation leading up to the race.

Your first sprint triathlon is a significant milestone that deserves to be celebrated. So go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back, and soon you will be planning your next triathlon adventure.

Conclusion and Final Race Day Preparation

Race day can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first sprint triathlon. Here are some tips to help you prepare and handle the nerves:

1. Familiarise Yourself with the Course: Before race day, take the time to study the course map and become familiar with the race route. Knowing what to expect can help alleviate some anxiety on race day.

2. Practice Transitions: One of the unique aspects of a triathlon is the transitions between each discipline. Practice transitioning between swimming, cycling, and running, including changing clothes and gear quickly. This will help you feel more confident and efficient on race day. i certainly regretted not doing this!!

3. Mental Preparation: Developing a strong mental game is just as important as physical training. Visualize yourself crossing the finish line, staying focused and positive throughout the race. Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to help calm your nerves.

4. Race Day Logistics: Plan ahead and make a checklist of everything you’ll need on race day, including your gear, nutrition, and hydration. Arrive early to allow yourself plenty of time to set up your transition area and warm up before the race. Also, make sure that you put your timing tag on your left ankle so that it doesn’t catch on your bike chain when cycling.

5. Support Crew: Get people to come and support you. It was such a huge motivator for me to have friends and family there on the sidelines cheering along. I wish I would have also had someone there to hand off extra kit to. As our second transition and finish was in a different location we had to hand off bags a long time before start. So we spent a lot of time barefoot and just in our trisuits and it started to get cold. This is where a changing robe and also someone to give that to at the start line would have come in very handy.

Remember, the most important thing is to enjoy the experience and celebrate your achievements, no matter the outcome. As a first-time triathlete crossing the finish line of your first sprint triathlon is a significant accomplishment, and it’s a testament to your hard work and dedication and race skills will develop over time. 

You have got this!! Good luck!!

It isn't too late, you are not too old and I don't It isn't too late, you are not too old and I don't believe that life is just downhill after 40.

I'm only just getting started.

Agree?? Or do you ever feel like your body just isn't playing fair these days?
I am back from my holidays feeling well rested and I am back from my holidays feeling well rested and ready to get back to feel good practices and really make progress in the final quarter of the year. 

I always love this time of year to kick things up a notch and feel like I am finishing the year on high note.

And with my own PCOS diagnosis it is ever becoming clearer that gut health has to be a priority as it's certainly something that has been a feature in my own health with some incredible bloating that has been taking place. 

In fact for all midlife women, I believe that gut health is an important aspect of health that we all should consider.

So as we enter the month of November, I'm excited to introduce a brand-new and simplified Gut Health Protocol as part of Better Body coaching. 

I believe that optimal gut health is an important part of a healthy, vibrant life, but it's often overcomplicated. This protocol is about making improvements over perfection as many gut health protocols just become too hard to actually be able to stick to.

Gut health is not just about digestion; it plays a pivotal role in various aspects of your well-being, including:

- Maintaining a Healthy Bodyweight
- Supporting a Strong Immune System
- Supporting Mental Health and Mood
- Heart Health

This November Gut Health Protocol is about taking it back to basics and I'll be sharing delicious gut-nourishing recipes, tips and tools to help you make small changes to impact your gut health. 

Of course you get the same supportive community that will guide you toward making change. 

When you join our program, you'll gain access to:

* Nutritional guidance to improve your gut microbiome. 
* Stress management techniques to reduce the impact of daily stressors on your gut. 
* Insights into probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary choices to optimise your gut's flora.

Join Better Body Coaching this month and get ready to work towards a happy healthy gut and a happy and healthy you!

Are you feeling fed up with not making the progres Are you feeling fed up with not making the progress that you want with your health and your body?

Look I get it. Your body and weight loss can feel a whole lot different after the age of 40, and sometimes feels like a constant uphill battle.

But weight gain does not have to be inevitable when you have the right strategies in place that are more specific to your midlife body.

Because how you approach your fitness in your 40's should be very different to what you were doing in your 20's and 30's

Better Body coaching is designed specifically with your 40+ female body in mind.

Not only will you get a step by step plan, but you get me as your coach and guide to help you navigate making changes for your midlife lifestyle and adapt the changes to you and your life.

Just like one member did. She has been celebrating losing 28lb. 

Where she said "those little movements in the right direction are now paying off". She has been working consistently, and yet imperfectly to work on her health practices in a way that fits with her very busy life and the result is releasing unwanted body weight that she had been feeling was weighing on her literally.
