So you have decided to swim, bike, run!
Every Triathlete, Ironman – even the Olympic
Medalists have been a beginner at some stage in
their life. Some are lucky enough to have friends
and family involved in the sport to give guidance
and advice, others are keen to become involved
however have no idea where to begin.
Too many questions – What do I need? Where
do I buy from? How much do I spend? How much do
I train? Where can I train? When can I race? Where
do I race? – just to name a few!
Multisport Consultants cover every aspect of
triathlon and ironman, providing much needed guidance
and advice for beginner athletes, young and old.
Subjects such as, equipment, nutrition, training,
techniques, health, understanding your body, race
preparation and racing are all covered and explained,
simply and easily.
There
are a number of advantages being beginner triathlete.
Once training begins improvement in fitness over
the three disciplines becomes quite noticeable,
your body changes and becomes leaner and fitter,
you feel great and gain confidence. Everything
seems to happen in leaps and bounds, thus providing
more inspiration and focus to continue to train
and set goals. In essence it is extremely rewarding
and to be honest quite addictive.
However, there are also some disadvantages, and
without the correct guidance and advice it is
quite easy to develop bad habits, such as, over
or under training, poor nutrition and quite often
incorrect swim strokes, poor bike position and
bad running technique. Subsequently, the improvements
almost come to a stop, injuries occur their health
declines and the athlete becomes frustrated and
stressed.
All
your diligent training and hard earned money spent
on equipment should be rewarded with results and
most of all enjoyment of the sport. Utilising
the services of a coach at Multisport Consultants,
especially in the infancy of your triathlon or
Ironman ‘career’ will ensure you set
off on the right path and get the best results
out of your body and the sport.
