Or For your Next Sprint Triathlon Training Programs?

If so, you are probably asking some of the same questions that thousands of others have asked:

  • Do I need to follow a Triathlon Training Schedule?
  • What does it take to finish my first triathlon?
  • What kind of training should I be doing for my first triathlon?
  • Do I need to hire a personal coach?
  • Where can I find reliable information about Triathlon Training?


Dear Future Triathlete,

Hi, my name is Suzanne Atkinson, and I am a  Triathlon Coach, Physician and former Outward  Bound instructor, and I’d like to help you finish your first triathlon.  I’ve written a free guide called “The First Time Finisher’s Triathlon Guide” that will help guide you to finishing your first triathlon.  My guide covers many of the common questions people have about Triathlon Training Schedules and Sprint Triathlon Training for their very first event.

Trust me, if you WANT to finish your first triathlon, you WILL.  With my free triathlon training guide in hand, you will get started on the right foot with your first or sprint triathlon training and get the answers to many questions that I’m certain are on your mind.

I’ll introduce you to the Most Essential Triathlon Training Concepts in my Free eBook - and save you Frustration and Time by not having to surf the net for your first triathlon training plan!

Before downloading or especially purchasing a triathlon training schedule online, you will want to make sure your plan has the essential elements to guarantee your success.  You want to make sure that your plan allows you to:

  1. Train with the correct intensity through the days and weeks leading up to your event.
  2. Plan for adequate rest, recovery and regeneration to accelerate your improvement, even on your days off.
  3. Learn and practice the unique skills of triathlon including Transitions and Brick workouts.
