Unlike the old days of triathlon, training alone or with a group of friends seemed to be the only workout options. Today, thanks to the widespread availability of the internet and growth of the sport, there are dozens of training options available for all levels of athletes. Whether a group of people or a workout on a paper motivates you, finding a program that fits your lifestyle, personality and race goals can help you boost your performance.
 Solo Programs
As the father of five children ranging in age from 4-11 years old, Mark Duss said he doesn’t have time to be flexible. With soccer games, basketball practices and Saturday morning swim meets, the 12x Ironman must train while the kids are sleeping. Recently, his wife loaded the kids in the car and he rode 110 miles to meet in Ventura for a soccer game. He hasn’t found many other triathletes who want to join him at 4:00 a.m. for a two hour run through his Newport Beach, California neighborhood. Or someone who can take a two hour lunch bike ride at lunch time.
Best Fit: For people who are highly motivated. This program also works best for those on a tight schedule that can’t afford to wait for a slower rider, or hang out while a flat is fixed. Your workouts can easily be changed and you can set the pace. Also works well for longer distance training. Gadgets such as power meters, heart rate monitors and music can help you keep pace.
