Triathlon Race
Posted on 1923 January 2010 by JaMi in Uncategorized
It can be quite intimidating to sit down with the triathlon race calendar
and figure out which races you can effectively add to your schedule, which
triathlons you can be ready for without overtraining, and whether you’re
racing “too much” or “too little”. So here are six simple steps to plan your
triathlon race season, straight from the Rock Star Triathlete Academy. Triathlon Race Season Step 1: Make a list and write down all the races you
want to do. Now, choose the three races that are most important to you and
dearest to your heart. These three races are going to be your “high priority
events”. Mark these with an A, a “High”, a star, or whatever method you’d
like to set them apart. Choose the races that you’re “on the fence” about,
and mark those with a B, or “mid” priority. Finally, pick the races that you
just want to do for fun, and mark those with a C or “low” priority. Triathlon Race Season Step 2: If your A race is a sprint or an olympic, make
sure that you plan 1 week before that race and mark that week with a
“taper”. If your A race is a Half Ironman, make sure your plan 10-14 days
before that race and mark those 10-14 days with a taper. If your A race is
an Ironman, plan 2-3 weeks before that race and mark those weeks as a taper.
Don’t plan any other races during any period of your calendar marked
“taper”. Triathlon Race Season Step 3: Count backwards from the taper for 4 weeks
from a Sprint, 6 weeks from an Olympic, and 8 weeks from a Half IM or IM
triathlon. During those periods of weeks, plan one to two B-C events to help
you mentally and physically prepare for your A event.
