Base

It's that time of year when I start to increase my base training. Since the end of the season in October, I've been only doing one workout a day and as we know, if you're training for a triathlon, you race three sports.

When I add a second workout, I make sure that I reduce the one I usually do. That means if on Tuesdays, if I've been doing a base running workout and add a base swimming workout, I reduce the distance and duration of the run. By doing it this way, I reduce the chances of getting sick or hurt.

Remember, it's still early in the season so you don't have to be doing long, hard workouts in all your sports yet. You just need to be working the base and getting ready.
