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.
