Mark, Swim Session Review 2018:

Absolutely loved this course, and would recommend it 100%. Very well run and organised, the coach was exceptional, and really took his time to fully explain and demonstrate drills to help rectify errors in my swim stroke.

The video analysis and feedback were invaluable, and having another go in the pool after watching the video to put into practice what we had been told, only helped to embed the information. We then had another video analysis to view after this feedback. Very good service to do this twice.

Once home I received links to my videos and also detailed instructions on what I needed to do to further improve my swimming. Thanks to all at Tri Training Harder.

How to recover after your first IRONMAN

Completing your first IRONMAN or indeed any long course race is always an amazingly humbling experience. There are so many sensations: happiness, pride, disappointment, relief, chaffage, pain and hunger to name but a few! However, here are a few important considerations for recovering optimally.

IRONMAN Race week

Finally! Race week is here. Along with the chance to race, you also have all the extra energy from the taper, the nerves, the extra eating, the hydrating, the mood swings, and maybe even some tears! You get to travel to the race location, where suddenly everything becomes very real when you’re looking at the course, the commentators and the red carpet. You can easily get intimidated by the distance, the climate, the competitors and everything else which adds up to racing a long course triathlon event!

The IRONMAN Taper

With about a month to go until your IRONMAN race day, now is the time to start discussing how you are going to taper into the event. An effective taper will leave you sufficiently rested and trained on the start line and also give you the time to consider all other necessary preparations ahead of race day.

The Last Push in an IRONMAN Training Plan

With about two months to go, you only have a a few weeks to go before you begin the taper. This is when everything becomes really rather critical. Now is the time to settle in to your own thoughts and build your self-belief by avoiding common pitfalls as you enter the ‘last push’.

Specificity and Including Open water in your IRONMAN Training Plan

Keeping training on plan and IRONMAN specific as well as conquering the open water are two big considerations for IRONMAN athletes in their final block of training. Maintaining focus in training and overcoming a huge barrier to IRONMAN events (the open water swim) can prove problematic for some athletes. In this blog we' will try to guide you through these two areas of your preparation.

Injury Prevention while training for an IRONMAN

Training for an IRONMAN can be a gruelling and tough task. Your body literally takes a pounding through the training you are doing and can sometimes break down. Carrying some sort of injury while training is very common among triathletes, almost so common that athletes think it is expected that they will end up carrying an injury through training. Well, we disagree!

How can you balance training with others and training for an IRONMAN?

Training with other athletes can be a performance enhancer and a performance inhibiter. Here we discuss the best ways of getting the most out of your training buddies while staying on track for your IRONMAN plan?

Balancing your Race Plan with an IRONMAN

As you get your teeth stuck into training for an IRONMAN, you start raising questions about how to plan your season and what races to enter aside from your IRONMAN. This then leads naturally onto how you will fuel for your training and racing. Here we cover some of these points and the great thing is that by thinking about this early in your season there will be plenty of time to make changes, adapt and improve.
