Here are some of the benefits of hiring a triathlon coach:

Hold You Accountable

When you train for a triathlon by yourself and have no one to answer to, you may be more tempted to skip a training session or cut it short. After all, no one will know the difference. However, if you know that your triathlon coach in Washington, DC is holding you accountable, you will be more likely to go to all of your sessions and give it your all every time. If you try to skip a workout, your coach may become disappointed with you and you don’t want that to happen.

Reduce Injuries

Even if you are an experienced athlete, you can still overtrain for the triathlon and develop injuries. For example, you may run too hard or not take enough time to properly warm up. A triathlon coach for Washington, DC can monitor your daily workouts and ensure that you’re not overdoing it. If your coach believes that you are working too hard and in danger of getting injured, he or she will pull back on your training and have you rest.

Manage Time Better

If you are like many people, you don’t have all the time in the world to train for a triathlon. You may have a full-time job and a family to take care of and can’t spend endless hours on training. A coach can create a specific training plan that works for your schedule an ensure that you don’t waste any time.

Provide Motivation

No matter how excited you are to participate in a triathlon, the training can get draining after a while. You may get tired of doing the same things day after day and lose motivation. That’s why it’s so important to have a coach around. A top Washington, DC triathlon coach will cheer you on and help you push your limits, which can be very motivating.

Growing up, I was never even remotely athletic, a distinct liability in a sports-mad country. Moreover, I grew to associate the idea of people being “sporty” with people who were generally obnoxious, who loved to lord their athletic prowess over others.

Triathlon, therefore, was a revelation for me: very ordinary people who were able to achieve extraordinary things. Team Z is the essence of triathlon in that regard, an amazing mix of experienced athletes (who turned out to be quite nice people) and absolute beginners, all sharing their different journeys. The team is full of people who push me when I need to be pushed and who push me when I don’t think I want to be pushed. Because the team pushes me, I’ve become something I never would have believed I could become: an athlete.

Never say never on Team Z! I never thought I would do a triathlon let alone a half Ironman. I told anyone who would listen that the only way I would ever run another marathon was if it was in an Ironman and since I was never going to do an Ironman I had nothing to worry about. Well, so much for my “never” list. With the support of Team Z, I have raced numerous short distance triathlons, several half Ironmans, raced my best injury free marathon (I beat Oprah’s time), and signed up for an Ironman.
Regardless of your experience, speed, motivation, and goals there is a place for you on Team Z. When I joined the Team in December 2011, I did not know what to expect. My old game plan was to go as fast and as hard as possible regardless of the consequences. I do not recommend this strategy. I somehow always fell to side with an injury and burned out long before I reached the start line. This all changed when I joined Team Z. With the help of the coaches and my teammates, I am learning everyday how to find balance physically, set reachable goals, listen to my body, and enjoy the experience. I have a good friend on the Team that says that all the training and hard work is the journey. Race day is the victory lap. Gotta Love Team Z!

In 2009 I ran the Disney Marathon with my mom, accompanying her on her first 26.2 mile adventure. I remember standing at the start next to her and saying, “just think, those Ironman people have to do this after swimming 2.4 miles and biking 112”¦..freaking lunatics!.” Two years later with a couple of sprint and Olympic triathlons under my belt, and after a couple of glasses of wine, I started to wonder, “Maybe I can do an Ironman too?” So I pulled the trigger, dropped the cash, and signed up for Ironman Cozumel. This followed by immediate panic. “Oh dear God, what have I done? I haven’t the slightest clue how to train for an Ironman.” A couple months later, by chance, I ran into a Z’er outside of my work and as we started talking Triathlon, she told me about Team Z. “Why not? It can’t hurt” I thought to myself. So I joined. It didn’t take me long to realize that this team had everything I wanted: knowledgeable and supportive coaches, structured training plans for all levels and abilities, fantastic teammates, and most importantly cold beers ready for you after every race!
