A healthy body would result to a healthy mind. That is the reason why, despite of the busy schedule, people would really find a time to have an exercise. This is important because it keeps us stronger and make us ready for our everyday work.

Exercise does not only gives us strength and energy, but it also gives us a physically fit body. There are lot of simple exercise which you can do like biking, running, and swimming. But there are other people who do all of these all altogether and they are called triathletes, and they are trained by their triathlon coach in order to achieve all of these.

A triathlete is an athlete who joins a triathlon race. It is a race which is composed of three parts and those are biking, running and swimming. Being a triathlete is not an easy goal. You need to have a proper training before you join races like this. If you are planning to be one, here are some tips from a triathlon coach which you need to know.

Have the proper gear. Take note that when doing this, you need to have the correct and proper equipment and suits. Proper gears are important in order to avoid possible injuries while training and by the time you would decide to join the race. You can do your research or you may ask your buddies or your coach as to appropriate suits for this kind of training.

Organize the drill sessions. When preparing for this kind of race, you must balanced the length of time that you have to spend on training for each category. If you are already good in biking, but is bad in swimming the take longer hours in swimming. But remember, you should not be too much confident for that might cause your failure.

Train alone. While it is very enjoyable to do trainings together with your best buddies, it would also lead you to a lack of focus on your goal. It is highly recommended that an athlete must do his drills alone so that he can concentrate on his strengths and weaknesses. You would also be able to improve those weaknesses without getting insecure with your buddy who have already been very good at a certain aspect.

Do the trainings simply and gradually. Do only the trainings which are suitable for a beginner. Just do first those simple and easy drills, this is to condition your body for future intricate exercises and drills. If you have already mastered all the easy ones, that would be the time that you do all the complex ones.

Power up. Another thing that gives us energy is the food so you should not hinder yourself from eating. But since you are still under training, the eating habits must be controlled, and so as the food intake. Make sure that you are guided by your coach in this part of your training.

Stay hydrated. Drinking water is very important, especially when you are working out for your triathlon goals. Constant training would leave you constant sweating so always stay hydrated by drinking water often. You can also consider drinking energy drinks and some other drinks who may have electrolytes that can help you boost your energy.
