One way to really motivate yourself to work out regularly is to sign up for an upcoming triathlon event.
This gives you something to aim for and a bit more motivation, so you will be less likely to skip workouts.
But once you have decided to sign up for a triathlon, you might be wondering how to come up with a triathlon training program.
One good resource for this is the Internet.
You can find both free and paid training programs online.
Once you have decided which type of triathlon you would like to participate in, you will want to find a triathlon training program that is tailored to that specific distance.
Finding a training program is as easy as doing an online search for the specific distance triathlon event.
This will result in you finding a number of different websites offering you different options, either for free or paid.
Many of the free options are aimed at those just getting started who just want to be able to complete the race.
So if this is your first race, this might be just the thing for you.
The training programs that they charge you for are aimed at helping you to better your time and be more efficient in your training.
Whichever triathlon training program you are considering, you should look into the assumptions and the requirements in regard to training time before purchasing a program.
Some programs have you spending a lot more time training each week than others and you don't want to purchase a program only to find that you can't actually follow it.
Carefully consider how much time you have available and try to find a program that doesn't require you to train for more hours than that.
Also, make sure that your training program is the correct number of weeks.
The last thing you want is a training program that is 12 weeks long when your first race is in 8 weeks! Another thing to keep in mind is the focus of the training program.
Some programs are available with more of a focus on one component or another of the triathlon in order to help you improve your weakest areas.
They still include training for all parts, they just have you train a little longer each week in one area.
Focusing the majority of your training on the weakest parts of your race will bring you the most benefit in the end.
