By Marie Robinson


If you no longer want to maintain a passive attitude toward life and you are finally ready to get in the best shape you have ever been in, then you should compete in a triathlon. Before doing so though, you will need to properly prepare your body and your mind. There are many advanced triathlon training techniques you can make use of to prepare, but the following techniques will likely be the most beneficial ones you can use to immediately improve your health.

There are many steps you can take to increase your fitness, but few will have the impact a healthy diet can have on your performance. For this reason, you should make the foods you eat a primary part of the changes you make to your lifestyle to get fit. Once you start eating the right foods, you will see both your endurance and your performance ultimately greatly improve.

In order to ensure your diet is benefitting your health rather than hurting it, you should first take the step of incorporating leafy green vegetables into your meals. Leafy green vegetables are packed with nutrients and they are very light in weight. Try to stay away from heavy greasy foods that will likely make you feel groggy and slow.

Once you have perfected your diet you will then be ready to perfect the rest of your training regime. For example, you can take the time to review the courses you will be running, biking, and swimming through. By doing so, you will better understand the obstacles and challenges that will be encountered during a competition.

Proper preparation for a competition can also come in the form of reviewing courses and specific strategies for each part of the race. You will perform much better by being fully prepared for each obstacle and challenge that will be presented during the race. The process of even visualizing the way in which you expect the race to go beforehand may prove to be beneficial to your performance.

Preparation does not only come in the form of physical exercises though. To increase your mental toughness, you must also prepare yourself for the trials that are ahead of you. By preparing yourself for the pain and exhaustion that will arise while racing, you will not be surprised by it when it hits you in the middle of a competition and this will give you an advantage.

Positivity may ultimately prove to be one of the most powerful tools in your tool belt nonetheless. Positivity can help you engage in a proper training regime that will get you extremely fit. Positivity can also be used to help you push through those rather challenging moments that are oftentimes just steps from the finish line as well.

Ultimately it will be the training program you use to get fit that will depict your success in this highly competitive sport. The steps of improving your diet and increasing the toughness of your training regime should help you lay the foundations of success though. Plus, once you are in the best shape of your life, you will look and feel great all of the time.
