Every triathlete usually has a “weak” discipline. Swimming is often difficult for beginners, as fast swimming is not innate to humans and requires good technique. Swim-specific flexibility and coordination training with various buoyancy aids will improve basic speed and therefore long-distance speed. Cycling should be one of the strongest disciplines, as more than half of … Triathlon: Technique Saves Power
Sporting performance always requires a supply of energy (ATP). The anaerobic threshold marks the point at which the body can no longer cover its energy production from oxygen transport through the blood. This is the case at the beginning of athletic performance, as well as during higher loads. If the anaerobic threshold is exceeded, energy … Anaerobic threshold
Pulse The increased pulse – At what point is a pulse considered too high?pulse or even the heart rate can be calculated with different formulas. One formula that calculates the maximum heart rate or maximum pulse very simply, but leaves out the individual component is the formula: “180 minus age” or “220 minus age, of … Pulse | Anaerobic threshold
Determine lactate value In order to create an effective training plan, one should know one’s anaerobic threshold or lactate threshold or determine it beforehand. The anaerobic threshold can only be determined by measurements. Lactate tests, ergospirometry and other methods can be used to determine this threshold. The anaerobic threshold can be determined by a stepwise … Determine lactate value | Anaerobic threshold

Energy supply The energy that the muscle needs for longer endurance efforts comes from carbohydrates (sugars) and fats (see energy table). The longer the effort, the more fats, the shorter and more intensive the effort, the more carbohydrates are burned The fat storage of a normal-weight man would be sufficient to run about 30 marathons … Energy supply | Marathon

Energy supply In order to be able to train effectively for a triathlon, knowledge of the energy supply is of fundamental importance. The distance that is swum, ridden and run in a triathlon is less of a problem than the change of load types. Especially after cycling, the subsequent running is much more difficult. The … Energy supply | Triathlon
Training planning Those who design their triathlon training in such a way that the individual disciplines are trained in isolation will have to contend with many problems in competition. Therefore, the changeover between the disciplines is especially trained, which increases the training volume considerably and the training often proves to be very problematic. Since most … Training planning | Triathlon
