Anyone Can Do a Triathlon - What's Stopping You?

Anyone Can Do a Triathlon - What's Stopping You?

YOU are a lot closer to doing a triathlon than you think!

In this Episode of The Triathlete Beat: A Triathlon Podcast for Everyone, I go over some of the common thoughts (aka excuses) that prevent people from doing a triathlon, and offer some perspective to "unblock" those thoughts.

I also point out that sprint triathlons and sprint relay triathlons are an excellent way to get started in the sport. The swim/bike/run distances in a sprint triathlon are very manageable to complete, especially if you already exercise on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong though - even the sprint races require training multiple times a week to get your body adjusted. However, with patience and the drive to be consistent in training, you can surprise yourself with what you can do in the sport.
