Training Tip Tuesday March/April 2021

Training Tip #52 (April 27th 2021)

Tailored performance nutrition will optimise your recovery and race fuelling, and help with weight management as well as nutritional periodisation.
- John Hawley, Professor of Exercise Metabolism

Training Tip #51 (April 13th 2021)

Try some water polo! You’ll learn to sprint for the ball, which is great training for fast starts, and the constant fast turns will help with swimming around buoys. 

- Mark Kleanthous, Former Pro Triathlete

Training Tip #50 (March 30th 2021)

Sometimes the best workouts are no workouts! I have been focusing on healing, getting proper sleep, not stressing (stress impacts immunity and health), and eating nutrient-dense foods. 

- Linsey Corbin, Pro Ironman

Training Tip #49 (March 16th 2021)

Try to include plyometric training as well as basic core strength work. This will not only help to develop overall strength but power as well, especially at the latter end of a triathlon when it’s common to fatigue, lose technique and see a drop in speed.

- Fran Bungay, Age Group Ironman & Coach

Training Tip #48 (March 2nd 2021)

There are loads of little exercises that can help you run faster without battering yourself in training. Proprioception exercises (standing on one foot with your eyes closed is a simple one) are useful, and never neglect core strength exercises. They’ll transfer every ounce of power into forward motion

- Jess Harrison, Former Pro Triathlete
