How to start from scratch?
All of us started from scratch. How do you get started? How many workouts should I do per week? Can I train without a bike? What equipment should I prioritize?
I just spoke with a typical new triathlete. He has a running background and knows a few people who have completed IRONMAN races. He wants a piece of it and wants challenge himself and achieve a difficult goal. He also wants some help. Let's explore each of the following questions and share some our thoughts and experience.
How do you get started?
- Find a club, coach or both
- Acquire a training plan
- Get the basic equipment
- Ease into training keeping the sessions short
How many workouts should I do per week?
- Ease into training keeping the sessions short and 3-4 per week with 3-4 recovery days
- As the ability to recover, fatigue and soreness dissipate, you can start adding days and durations until you are able to do the workouts in your plan.
- Keep a day off, if you need it
Can I train for the bike without a power meter?
- Yes of course. Using power is ideal, but setting your HR training zones and training to HR has been done for decades.
- One downside are higher intensity intervals with HR lag
Can I train without a bike?
- Define bike. A gym stationary bike can be adequate if you are doing indoor triathlon.
- If doing outdoor, you can get started with a stationary bike, but you will need a bike for racing outdoors.
- Road or Tri bike recommended
What equipment should I prioritize?
- If indoor triathlon - swimsuit, goggles, access to indoor bike, running shoes
- If outdoor with pool - swimsuit, goggles, bike, helmet, bike shorts and top or tri suit, and running shoes
- If outdoor and cool OW - wetsuit, tri suit, bike, helmet,
- If you are open water racing this season, getting a wetsuit is a priority.
