How do you build a race day nutrition plan? This advice is invaluable in building that plan for triathlon, Ironman or for that matter any endurance racing.

Why should you do 80/20 training? Because that is the best way to get to the race in the best shape possible and without injury.

Not allowing your body to adapt to training can derail your triathlon race before you even start.

If you do this you will end up with overtraining injuries and be over tired on race day. You must include recovery, light days and low heart rate training to avoide these issues.

This Ironman Triathlon run nutrition HACK is just a suggestion and need to be practiced. Your whole nutrition plan should be practiced and dialed in to you and your needs.

Cycling uphill in a triathlon is a delicate balance between how hard you go and how long the climb is. We have to remember that you still have to run off the bike and in Ironman that is more important then you can imagine.

The Olympic distance and the International distance triathlon can be very different but may be very close. Be sure to train correctly for the longer distance if you have only done sprint triathlons. Find more information in my Free Triathlon Course:

If swimming in Open Water scares you try these methods to get more acclimated to the water before you try to swim. Take your time and get used to the feel.

Most every well organized triathlon races will have enough water stations on the run course. The question should be how well organized are YOU to take proper advantage of the aid stations.Check out this video to know how to do it

Sighting the buoy is not the best way to go strait in your triathlon or Ironman swim. Sighting something large in the distance that lines up with the buoy is a much better way to sight the correct line.

In a triathlon or Ironman with Split Transitions you will end the bike in a different locations then you started. Pretty much the only difference is your gear will be bagged and not setup like a traditional transition.

Ironman and triathlon races are using SPLIT TRANSITIONS more and more. It opens up more venues to be used. Transporting the bike from checkin to T1 can be an issue if not handled correctly.

When doing a split transition (t1 and t2 in different locations) you will have the clothes and shoe ect that you wore to transition. You will need to put them someplace to be transported back to t2. Here's what you do.

In your transition area for a triathlon the rules state you can't extend your setup past the leading edge of your bike tire. This includes all your gear and bag storage.

When considering using caffine for performance gains you should not use it if you have any of these conditions. This is not an inclusive list and only listed for entertainment value

The purpose of this triathlon transition is to cut seconds off your time. This tip is pretty obvious but I see so so many people not doing it.

If you want to be sure to pack everything you need for your Triathlon the best thing you can do is lay the items you need into each sport and do a mock transition. Only pack items you will use on race day and nothing more
