Triathlete Core Training

rockstartriathleteacademy.com Triathlete Core Training If you’ve read any triathlon magazines lately, or visited triathlon websites like www.rockstartriathleteacademy.com , you’re most likely familiar with triathlete core training and the concepts behind triathlete core training, which basically involves functional multi-sport training for the abdominal, low back, and pelvic muscles. Since many functional movements, such as running, lifting, or twisting, originate in the torso, it is important to maintain strength and balance in this part of the body. Today we’ll examine the best triathlete core training methods for an athlete to work the core, not only in terms of the best exercises, but also in terms of how often, how many sets and reps, length of rest periods, etc. First of all, understand the importance of the torso complex in multi-sport training. Proper “downhill” swimming involves constantly pressing the chest or shoulders down towards the bottom of the pool, relying on a light, albeit constant, downward contraction in the ab muscles and a resistive contraction to upward movement in the low back muscles. Both the flutter kick and stroke actions in the legs and arms also rely on light, repetitive contractions in the oblique and pelvic floor muscles.

Every triathlete struggles with different obstacles in their journey up the mountain, and the triathlon training guide emerges from his cave at the top of the mountain, ready to answer their questions. The first competitor slowly approaches, gasping for breath, and says, “I was fast for awhile, but I got slower and slower towards the top of the mountain.” The triathlon training guide rubs his chin, “It sounds to me like you have subpar muscular endurance. Rather than focusing your efforts on purely slow aerobic training, or doing very short intervals, make sure that you include some long tempo efforts and long intervals in your training. These should last 5-10 minutes for running, and 10-20 minutes for cycling, and be performed at about 75-85% intensity”. The second competitor shakes his head with frustration. “I just couldn’t beat my competition in that final 200 meter sprint to the top of the mountain.” With an understanding nod, the triathlon training guide responds, “You need some fast finish key workouts, young competitor. Try to include a final …
