The three pillars of a triathlon are the run, swim, and cycle. There is a myriad of distances that people can compete in. The sprint, super sprint, sprint relay and weekend warrior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first of June, Joe Walton will participate in his first sprint triathlon.

Especially in the months leading up to the race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>What have you done in the build-up to prepare yourself for each activity?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe &#8211; \u201cThe things I have done in the lead up for this race was doing a lot of sessions that might transfer to the actual race. For example, I will sim and then jump straight on the bike and cycle. Or start with a cycle and then follow it up with a run straight after, as well as training each discipline individually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have also taken up some open-water swimming lessons to get me more comfortable swimming in open water. This is because open-water swimming is a lot different to a pool. Having to deal with waves, wind, sunlight, not being able to see the bottom (which is the main way swimmers can swim in a straight line), having lots of people in close proximity, and not having a wall to push from every 25 to 50 metres.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"809\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/39d64911-6ff7-48c2-81fa-225ae71b41d1-1024x809.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2129 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/809;width:721px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/39d64911-6ff7-48c2-81fa-225ae71b41d1-1024x809.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/39d64911-6ff7-48c2-81fa-225ae71b41d1-980x774.jpg 980w, https:\/\/ninetoalive.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/05\/39d64911-6ff7-48c2-81fa-225ae71b41d1-480x379.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of Joe&#8217;s open water training session in Oxfordshire.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Is there a part you\u2019re more confident in than others?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe &#8211; \u201cThe discipline that I am most nervous about is the swim. This is due to me not being as confident swimming long distances as opposed to running or cycling long distances.

But if I don\u2019t choose to do a race like this again, I will always train in all three of these disciplines. Because over these months of training, I have noticed a massive improvement in my physical and mental health and thoroughly enjoy training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Would you recommend training for a triathlon?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe &#8211; \u201cI would recommend absolutely anyone to do it. I think if you\u2019re scared about one discipline or all of them. With the right training and attitude, you can learn so much about yourself, build lots of confidence and meet new people. Just remember It\u2019s not about the time it\u2019s about having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is at a different level when it comes to running, swimming and cycling.
