1. Fueling

2. 80/20 rule, 80: Low Heart Rate, 20: Intense Training (maffetone method)

3. Utilizing block training (Maximise specific sports)

4. Race day strategy plan ( HR, Power, Cadence or Watts) with a nutrition plan

5. Utilizing sweet spots ( 90% of ftp) and Big ear work for cycling (Build leg strength)

6. Triathlon is a strength sports (Keep especially lower body training)

7. Essential Equipment. Fuel, Good pair of running shoe, GPS watch, HR monitor, bib bike, helmet, Sunglasses, cycling shoe, bike & bike computer, googles, swimming cap, wetsuit

8. Equipment doesn’t matter that much. Get the bare min ( Don’t be overwhelmed and dont feel the need to purchase everything)

9. Post Race recovery plan ( First 14 days are super essentials, Keep a aerobic training) (Sleep, hydration & nutrition)

10. Backwards training. Make a list for the next day.

All good advice here for sure. But if you’re looking to do your first 70.3 Ironman don’t over complicate it. Keep it simple. Have fun, don’t die, make a lot of mental notes as you go of things you did well and things that you didn’t do well. That’s how I approached my first 70.3 Ironman. I also bought a used tri bike for $350 for my first race.

So authentic, informative and genuine. Stoked with the just get into the sport, you don't have to buy everything day 1 advice. Training for my 1st tri doing exactly that. Get some runners, googles, an ok bike and get to it. Enjoy it!

I started 2 years ago with wanting to participate in a triathlon. This is by far the best advice. Because of Covid and everything canceled I had to do my own races. Yes I am guilty of buying as good of equipment I can afford. the result, I enjoy training and can't wait to participate in a real race. Winning not my first goal, that would be to finish and have fun. thank you for the Info. I have been doing the backwards planning for most of my life. I guess that comes from a regimented up bring.

Great tips! Just beginning my triathlon journey. Love the application of the 80/20 rule to easy training vs. intense training. That is a great tip along with building an aerobic base

[oliverdelallama]

You are damn awesome Nick! Very excited about your race, you're gonna smash it! Wish you the best!

Great video Nick with some valuable tips. Stretching/foam rolling for recovery I have found to be quite an important element for me personally. Do spend in any time on such for your recovery? It wasn't really a topic discussed during the Ironman prep series.

Wetsuit also helps you hugely with buoyancy. My first tri was ten times more work in the swim without a tri suit. Very important piece.

[HomeTeamRock]

Super helpful... thank you! I enjoyed this whole series. Hopefully we get to a Boston marathon Series.
