Raeleigh’s 3 top tips for training:

1. Be consistent – being regular is more important than getting in long intermittent hours.
2. Know why you are doing what you are doing – each and every session – have your goals clear and your objective straight
3. Understand the power of all of the disciplines of triathlon – they all play an integral part and become more and less important throughout the training cycles and annual plan depending on racing and training demands – add to swim, ride, run; your nutrition, your mind, your equipment and your recovery/body care….. oh, and a sneaky 4^th tip….. have fun!
