Traithlon Training Schedule to Prevent Divorce
Triathlon may be great for you mentally and physically but it is a sport that takes time. That time can often come at the expense of relationships with significant others. Maintaining a well balanced triathlon training schedule becomes vial in keeping you and those close to you happy. Here are some triathlon training schedule tips from the Rock Star Triathlete Academy coaches to help you keep your relationships going well. Rule #4: Communicating with your spouse goes a long ways. Especially when you're going a long ways. If your weekend triathlon training schedule is going to involve a 3 hour run, 5 hour bike ride, or long swim and weights session, then warn your spouse in advance. And NOT when you roll over in bed that morning. Five to six days in advance, give them a heads-up that you'll have big chunk of time on the weekend devoted to training. Trust me - your spouse will appreciate your honesty and thoughtfulness in giving the warning, although you may still owe them a quiet movie that night. Rule #5: Do not think like a pro triathlete, unless you are one. If this sport is your career, then your triathlon training schedule is bringing home the bacon, and you can justify a 25-35 hour training week. But don't kid yourself. If you're into triathlon for the love of the game, to stay fit, or to prove to yourself that you can complete the challenge, then all triathlon is...is a hobby. And no matter how good or successful you are at your hobby, in the ultimate scheme of things, when you're on your deathbed or even whenyou're seventy years old with a bad set of knees, are you really going to care if you did an 11 hour or an 11 hour and forty five minute Ironman? Especially if you have your best friend and lover still at your side, holding your hand? Close your eyes and see if you can picture that. Does that help?
