Exceed Triathlon is
about training and racing triathlon. It's that simple.
It is about getting to the start line ready to go, prepared
and relaxed knowing that the training has been done
in a structured program suitable to you.
It is about training
and racing without being injured or overtrained.
Triathlon is not an
easy sport. It was never meant to be! Modern day triathlon
was basically born out of a bet about who was the fittest
and strongest from the three disciplines: swimming,
cycling and running. From sprint racing to Ironman,
triathlon is a physically demanding sport. So that is
how we train - to make sure you are fit and strong,
not exhausted halfway through the event. |
So how do we do that?
Well, Ross has been racing and training for triathlons
for 20 years and while he started off before tri bars
were the norm, that's not what makes him qualified.
What does is his quest for knowledge regarding what
works and what doesn't. Over the last 20 years he has
been trying, training, reading, watching and listening
to so many different types of training that what is
most obvious is there is not one type of training that
is suitable for everyone.
Some people need
to train less, some more, some need gym, some need
stretching, others do not. Some do not have much time,
some have too much! Some people can run fast but do
not swim well and vice versa, the combinations of
strengths and weaknesses are endless so the different
types of training need to be endless. |
