Triathlon training can be demanding and challenging at best. It can be even more demanding and challenging when a person tries to go it alone. It is true that many individuals can afford a personal coach to help them get through the long process of learning and mastering the three basic skills of running, cycling, and swimming, but it is equally true that many people cannot afford those costs. For those individuals interested in pursuing triathlon training on a budget, it is recommended that they seek some inside knowledge on techniques from those who have gone through the process before. In any worthwhile endeavor, it is always best to learn from someone who has years of experience in the field, and this is true in triathlon training as well. But where would you find someone like that if you did not already have access to someone of this nature? Good question. One answer is to look on the Internet. There are not as many experienced folks online in this field as there are for other sports, but there are a few. Some things to look for as you begin your online search are length of experience in the sport, knowledge base (are they well rounded in the sport?), expertise in all components of the event (running, cycling, and swimming), is their information clearly written so that you can understand it, and is the material geared for your skill level (beginner, mid, pro?). All of these things will come into play at some time or another as you go through your own process, moving from one level to the next. The more expertise a person or company has with these issues, the easier it will be for you to locate the resources you need. If you decide to work with a publisher of source materials, make sure that they offer their programs in individual modules rather than a one-book-does-all format. It is always better to purchase only the materials in the subjects that you need rather than having to wade through pages and pages of material that does not interest you. It is equally important to make sure they have offerings that match your current skill level. It will do you little good to get advanced techniques if you are just starting out. In fact, it may do you more harm than good because triathlon training that is too advanced for you at your current level may cause you to stop altogether. It is essential to find someone who offers information on all skill levels and then stick with your level until you are ready to advance. A great place to begin your search is with KinEli Publishing.
