Triathlon Training Program
TNT triathlon coaches have designed three to five month training programs that prepare participants for the target triathlons. Participants will train and work directly with the coaches at weekly Saturday and midweek trainings. Coaches are also available throughout the week to answer training and fitness-related questions. Additionally, there will be midweek "buddy trainings" led by assistant coaches and other volunteers (mentors).
The training program is designed and implemented by professional triathlon coaches. It consists of daily workout schedules, team workouts every week, clinics on nutrition, proper swim technique, bike maintenance, proper shoe and clothing selection, speed work, injury prevention and much more.
The program is designed to take triathletes from a beginning base and build gradually over the course of the program, tapering two weeks prior to the event weekend.
Daily workout schedules are provided so participants know what to do each day. The training program is designed with the busy person in mind. Most weekday workouts are an hour or less, with longer workouts reserved for the weekend. A typical weekly schedule for our triathlon program includes:
- Two days of running
- Two days of swimming
- Two days of biking
- Longer, coached team endurance trainings every weekend
- One day of coaches' workouts, focusing on speed work during the middle six weeks of the program.
- One rest day
Triathlon Coaches
The TNT triathlon programs offer a qualified and dedicated group of triathlon trainers. Our coaches were selected for their experience, professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm, as well as their devotion to the cause. All of our coaches have extensive coaching experience and have proven themselves in numerous athletic endeavors.
Mentors and Captains
TNT triathlon team members will be matched in an approximate eight to one ratio with a mentor. Mentors are past TNT participants who have successfully completed the training and fundraising program. The mentor will serve as a resource and peer advisor, encouraging team members throughout the training and fundraising season.
Honorees
TNT members train and raise funds in honor of a local resident who has been affected by a blood-related cancer. Your honoree becomes your inspiration as you work toward goals that will better both of your lives. We provide each triathlete with a wristband to wear throughout the season with names of personal and team honorees.
