Training for your Triathlon

In this lesson, swimming and triathlete instructor Jeremy explains how to train for all three stages of your triathlon; the swim, the bike, and the run. Jeremy discusses the proper way to train for the swim, and how to stay swim long straight lines in the water. You will hear about some useful equipment to help on your ride, as well as proper riding posture. Lastly you will learn tips for improving running posture and some stretching exercises to do before and after the run.

Jeremy ranked #94/833 on the swim during his first triathlon, the 2008 Austin Couple's Triathlon (http://www.couplestri.com/). He recommends everybody learn to change a flat bike tire before race day and to carry a flat tire kit.

2. When and how did you learn whatever it is you're an expert at?

I learned to swim at an early age, with my mother putting me on a swim team at 7 years old. I swam competitions up to 1000 m that year.

I do swims of...

Smart & practical advice!
