A triathlon is a sporting event consisting of three events: swimming, running, and cycling. Triathlons thus focus on endurance and versatility, which makes training for triathlons a complicated process. There are various theories about training, whether triathlon training is any different from training for cycling, swimming, or running individually. One unique part of the triathlon, however, are the transitions from one even to the next, which can require their own practice.

In this free video series, triathlete Dave Campbell teaches you how to train yourself and condition for a triathlon. Dave covers each event in turn, the running, cycling, and swimming sections. Dave will give you tips on strength and endurance training, transitions between events, the importance of stretches and increasing flexibility. You will learn how to run with longer strides, bike with more endurance, and swim with strength. It is all here.
