In a society driven by the media, many athletes would prefer to “pump iron” rather than to focus on cardio in order to achieve an “ideal image.” Although weightlifting is a plus when training for a triathlon, endurance training is an absolute necessity. As an athlete, with improved endurance, the body will more effectively accesses and exploit fat as a fuel source, which will help reduce body fat.
Becoming inspired to compete in triathlons and marathons can be difficult when competing alone. Training with a team can help push athletes further, as well as provide motivation when they think they can no longer go on. Team in Training (TNT) is a society in which athletes will be provided with certified coaches; exceptional training and clinics on fitness, nutrition, gear and injury prevention, as well as the teammates support every step of the way. TNT has become the world’s first, best and largest charity sports training program and the only one to offer a full complement of exciting, sports training options.
