Online Coaching

In this episode, Jacqui and Oliver discuss how proper coaching gets you fitter faster and enjoying the journey.

Key Takeaways:

Mistake 1: Rushing into high-intensity training too soon. After a winter of base training, it's tempting to jump into high-intensity workouts right away as the weather improves. However, this can lead to injury and burnout. Instead, gradually increase the intensity and volume of your workouts over time.

Mistake 2: Ignoring recovery. Recovery is an essential part of the training process, especially during the transition from winter to spring. Make sure to schedule regular rest days and active recovery sessions to allow your body to recover and adapt to the increased training load.

Mistake 3: Neglecting strength training. Strength training is an important component of triathlon training, but it's often overlooked. Incorporating strength training into your routine can help improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury.

Mistake 4: Overtraining. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of spring training and push yourself too hard. However, overtraining can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and injuries. Listen to your body and take rest days when you need them.

Mistake 5: Forgetting to enjoy the process. Triathlon training should be enjoyable, not a chore. Make sure to take some time to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings and the progress you're making.

In this episode, Jacqui and Oliver discuss why the boring stuff is the most important stuff.

• Training for a triathlon is not always exciting or glamorous.
• Repeating boring workouts is essential for improving as a triathlete.
• Social media often portrays triathlon training as more thrilling than it is.
• Don't be discouraged if most of your training sessions are not particularly enjoyable.
• All training sessions, even the boring ones, contribute to your progress.

In this episode of Triathlonology, Jacqui and Oliver Saxon discuss their recent visit to the Running Show in Birmingham. They mention that this year's show was the best they've attended since COVID, with a greater variety of brands, products, and attendees.

They specifically highlight a conversation with a representative from Skechers, a running shoe company they've used in the past. They express their appreciation for the comfort and performance of Skechers' shoes, particularly their GO MEB model. They also mention that Skechers is releasing two new running shoes in May.

Overall, Jacqui and Oliver had a positive experience at the Running Show and recommend it to others.
