Triathlon training planning
Triathlon training planning - this is what a good training plan should look like
There are many triathlon training plans and various offers for training planning. But how do I recognize a good training plan? As is well known, many roads lead to Rome, but there are certain standards in training planning.
The starting point of training planning should be an actual analysis. This includes the determination of the metabolic profile by means of diagnostics (lactate performance diagnostics, spiroergometry or PPD), the determination of the time budget and the goals. This is the only way to plan effectively. For the majority of age group athletes, the greatest potential lies in increasing maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), which can be achieved through a combination of intensive (HIT) and relaxed training in the basic range. In addition, a good technique and athletic base is crucial. Focusing on this development should therefore be a high priority in training planning. When preparing for a middle distance or long distance triathlon, economy is also important in the last weeks before the competition.
This is why individualized training planning in triathlon is worthwhile
In order to master the complex and challenging sport of triathlon with fun, joy and success in addition to professional and family obligations, individualized training planning is essential. The coach plans the training taking into account the time budget and with regard to the objective. Thus, long-term and clear progress can be achieved and the training time can be used effectively.

Summary Triathlon Training Planning
In order to effectively design triathlon training, the determination of the metabolic profile is essential. When controlling the loading and unloading, the everyday loads of the athletes should always be included. There is great potential in increasing maximal oxygen uptake and improving technique. Consistency is the key to success and quality should always come before quantity in training.
