HOW TO USE THIS BLOG TO HELP WITH YOUR TRIATHLON TRAINING


Welcome all to the training site for the Relief Society Triathlon. This can be your one stop resource for help and information about this unique opportunity and how to get ready for it! Here you will find training tips and introductory information for all three disciplines of the triathlon race- swimming, biking, and running. If you are new to triathlons, or fitness in general, please take a few minutes to read and learn. It will give you the confidence you need to be successful!

On the right hand side you will find a list of blog posts by date, and also by category. For example, if you want to research swimming info, look for tags for swimming. Also posted will be a full 12 week training schedule, giving an outline of what you should be doing each week to gradually prepare your mind and body for the race. Along with that, each weekend I will post the specific training details for the upcoming week, and give ya a little love and motivation to help you through the week. Follow this blog and stay up to date with new posts by adding your email in the link on the right of the page. I am always available to help with your questions!
