Are you looking for a challenge? Do you need to step up your workouts to achieve better results? Have you competed in a triathlon before and want to improve your time and/or skills for the next race? If you can answer yes, to any of these questions, then you came to the right place.

I am a certified Personal Trainer focused on triathlon training. I can help the seasoned athlete improve triathlon times and skills, but I can also introduce you to the sport if this is your first race.

Setting a goal is the first step in any achievement. I believe goals and goal setting is a very important part to sports training and life.

Set your goal and let me help you achieve it.  

If you are doing a Sprint Triathlon here is a training guide for the first three weeks. This guide is intended for a person who is already actively participating in a workout program. Always check with your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen.

Do you know someone who began training for an endurance event, but never achieved his/her goal due to a training injury. I sure do. It happens all the time in triathlons and marathons, espeically with someone training for his/her first race. Many training guides or programs do not stress the importance of rest.

Rest is crucial for recovery during training. If you over excel your muscle groups you are increasing your chances of major injury. Triathlons are great since you must train in three events, but usually a person over trains thinking they don't have as much time to prepare because they are preparing for three events, not just one.

Your body will respond better if you incorporate muscle toning and stretching to your triathlon workouts. This will allow your body to rest from training for swimming, biking, and running. Find a personal trainer to instruct you in the proper technique and exercises to target your triathlon training. Do this 2 times a week between your normal "tri" training. Make sure you also stretch after every training session.

I promise you will feel better and more prepared for your race if you follow these instructions.
