Disclaimer
Consult a healthcare professional: Before starting any new workout regimen, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional. This is especially important for triathletes who subject their bodies to intense physical demands.

Understanding the Triathlon Athlete's Needs
Triathletes require a balance of endurance, strength, and power. Strength training can improve running economy, cycling efficiency, and swimming power.
Focusing on core strength, leg power, and upper body stability is essential.

One-Day-Per-Week Strength Training for Triathletes
Program Structure
Focus: Full-body strength with an emphasis on core, legs, and upper body.
Rep Ranges: A mix of low, moderate, and high reps for strength, hypertrophy, and endurance benefits..

Key Considerations
Progression: Gradually increase weights, reps, or sets over time.
Recovery: Prioritize sleep, nutrition, and active recovery.
Variety: Change exercises regularly to prevent plateaus and promote adaptation.
Injury Prevention: Incorporate mobility and flexibility work.

Adjust based on your experience level and equipment availability.

Additional Tips
Nutrition: Fuel your body with a balanced diet rich in protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Hydration: Stay well-hydrated before, during, and after workouts.
Rest: Allow sufficient time for recovery between workouts.
Listen to your body: Pay attention to any signs of overtraining or injury.

Consistent strength training, combined with proper nutrition and rest, will contribute to improved triathlon performance.

Note: Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new workout regimen.
