REDUCE INJURIES IN 2026
For a triathlete, there are few things worse than injury. Our sense of purpose and ability to spend time with friends can be taken from us as we're sidelined with a dodgy knee, shoulder or tendon.
As many of us use triathlon to help regulate our mental health, this can be devastating in so many ways.
A 2022 study suggests that up to 91% of triathletes reported overuse injuries every year. This refers to injuries primarily caused by muscular weakness or tightness. Injuries which could be prevented with strength and conditioning.
If you do not include strength work in your training, you will get unnecessary injuries. Unfortunately, a quick stretch before and after training won't do it, we need to target muscle groups that don't get targeted by swimming, cycling and running, or which are prone to imbalances.
Strength training doesn't have to be intimidating
We're triathletes, we'd much rather be hitting the trails than grinding away for hours in the gym. This is why my programme includes a single strength session per week, lasting a maximum of 45 minutes.Â
You don't even need any equipment to start, the programme includes 12 training plans, three of which are bodyweight only.Â
Each exercise has a demonstration video with coaching points, progressions, regressions and insight into how it helps our triathlon performance.Â
