Ready to bang out a sprint triathlon? Here are some sprint triathlon training tips from they guys at the Rock Star Triathlete Academy to help you crush it out come race day 1. Don't Taper Too Long. Tapering for 2-3 weeks is a "trickle-down" technique from Ironman triathletes that unfortunately will leave a sprint triathlete unfit and stale for their relatively shorter competition. Five to seven days will adequately prepare most athletes for a sprint triathlon, and seven to ten days are all that is necessary for an athlete who is performing rigorous sprint triathlon training. 2. Don't Lift Weights On Race Week. At many gyms, you'll see triathletes rushing to the weights on race week to get that last little bit of strength training into their sprint triathlon training preparation. Unfortunately, it can take up to seven days for your body to fully recover from the muscle tearing and damage that occurs while resistance training. In the last week prior to your sprint triathlon, stay out of the weight room and skip your plyometric exercises. Instead, focus on a few quality swim, bike and run sessions at race pace intensity. 3. Do Sugar Rinses. Although your body has more than enough carbohydrate storage to last the entire length of a sprint distance triathlon, that doesn't mean that you should completely avoid any sugar during the race. Research studies have shown cyclists to be significantly faster and have a higher tolerance to the pain of exercise when they simply tasted sugar by doing a quick mouth rinse with a carbohydrate-based sport drink solution. During the last few weeks of your sprint triathlon training, try swirling and spitting a sweet solution. You'll find that it gives you just a little extra energy, even if you don't actually take a drink. These ten rules of sprint triathlon training, brought to you byfrom the Rock Star Triathlete Academy, will ensure that the build-up to your race is smart and highly effective.About the Author:
