20 GREAT REASONS TO DO A TRIATHLON
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
--HENRY DAVID THOREAU
P eople are motivated to "take the plunge" and do a triathlon for reasons that are as varied as those setting out on this mission. Some are obvious: "to lose weight fast!" Others are personal: "to boost my self-confidence and feel good about myself." Others are spiritual: "to find more meaning in my exercise" or "to live more fully." A few are social: "to brag to everyone in the office that I did a triathlon." And some are inspirational: "to serve as a model for others and show what is truly possible in life."
Although the reasons people do a triathlon differ, the benefits are universal. That's what this chapter is about--it outlines the 20 benefits you can reap from training for and completing a triathlon. The bottom line is that this process is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do in your life, not just physically but also mentally, spiritually, and socially. Ask anyone who has done a triathlon and they will tell you the same thing.
But for all its power to change your life, training for a triathlon isn't going to consume your life. The training program set forth in this book is designed to blend seamlessly into your busy schedule and requires four hours a week for six weeks--a total of just 24 hours. The payoffs, however, are timeless: You will lose loads of weight, feel better than ever, and gain self-confidence that will last a lifetime.
Lofty promises, indeed. Can doing a triathlon really deliver? Follow the advice in this book and, yes, without a doubt it can. It has for hundreds of thousands of other triathletes, and it will for you, too.
PHYSICAL BENEFIT
For you to consider training for and completing a triathlon, there have to be some serious, long-lasting benefits, right? Well, here they are--20 of them. Let's start with the most observable payoffs: what will happen to your body.
YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT
The first thing you'll probably notice as a Triathlete-in-Training is that your clothes will become too big. That's because training for a three-sport event will make you as fit and healthy as you have ever been in your life. When you engage in a well-balanced program of swimming, cycling, and running--known as cross-training--you will burn an enormous amount of fat from every area of your body. Better yet, the weight will come off as a natural consequence of your passion-driven quest to complete a triathlon, rather than from a guilt-induced diet, a boring exercise plan, or a bizarre fitness implement.
FEEL GOOD AT ANY WEIGHT
Losing weight is a goal coveted by many, and you certainly stand to shed the £ds on this program. But it's also important to accept and enjoy how you look here and now--and every step of the way.
Over the past few decades, the American media has perpetuated an almost hysterical level of irrational obsessive-compulsion with looking thin. That has wreaked havoc on our sense of perspective and our self-esteem, making it virtually impossible for us to enjoy how we look.
The problem is that when you fail to appreciate your body, in this moment, you postpone life enjoyment. It's saying: "I will appreciate my body when . . ." Unfortunately, "when" rarely arrives. But a Triathlete-in-Training is different: Although you're always striving for a better quality of life, and perhaps a better body, you're genuinely satisfied with, and grateful for, the here and now. That way, you can celebrate the destination of a fitter you while having enjoyed your triathlon journey along the way.
The principles and strategies in this book are built on passion, not deprivation. As you progress on this program, you will gain momentum: You'll lose a couple of £ds in the first week and you'll begin to feel stronger, which means you can do a little more and lose a little more weight. The workouts will get easier, so you'll be able to go even farther and lose more weight. Before you know it, you'll be sailing!
Keep this in mind: The program in this book isn't based on some untested herbal weight-loss product. The principles at work are basic scientific ones that your body cannot disobey. Like the apple that must fall from the tree, your body must lose weight if you're consistently burning more calories than you're consuming. And nothing burns more calories than training for a triathlon.
Plus, you'll likely find that when you're training for such an athletic event, you'll want to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet that supports your training. Overeating or indulging in lots of less-than-nutritious foods will leave you feeling dull and tired during your workouts, so you'll quickly learn to eat what's good for you--and that will accelerate your weight loss even more. (For more on nutrition, see Chapter 10.)
ACTION ITEM: Ditch the scale and the madness attached to it. Muscle weighs more than fat, so if the numbers on the scale aren't budging, they aren't telling you the right story. Just look in the mirror and decide for yourself if you are making progress. Judge your fitness not by some arbitrary number but by how energetic and positive you feel and how your clothes fit!
YOU WILL LOOK AND FEEL YEARS YOUNGER
When we neglect our bodies, imperceptibly over time we gradually accept lower standards of fitness, of health, and, therefore, of living. Worse, we don't even realize how bad we feel until we wake up and get fit again.
Training for a triathlon will reconnect you with your body and make you feel like you haven't felt in years: young, energetic, and powerful. You will not only feel years younger but also look better than ever. Triathletes are legendary for having some of the best physiques in the fitness world. That is because cross-training shapes the body in complementary ways: Running develops long, lean muscles; cycling builds strength and tones your lower body; and swimming increases your flexibility and sculpts your upper body. Take a look at any triathlete over age 55 and you'll see what I mean. These people have the look--and swagger--of 20- and 30-somethings.
YOU WILL HAVE MORE ENERGY
Energy forms the basis of our existence, yet it seems that we all have less and less of it as our schedules have grown increasingly hectic. Unfortunately for some people, exercise can exacerbate this problem by draining their energy rather than replenishing it. In an effort to get results or lose weight fast, they may wind up overtraining and exhausting themselves.
Not so on this program.
The strategies in this book will show you how to exercise so that each workout refreshes your body and clears your mind, giving you more energy over time so that you can perform better at work and at play. That, I guarantee.
You're likely wondering, "How can training for something as rigorous as a triathlon actually give me energy?" This program is for real people, not elite athletes. By following the principles in this book and exercising at the right pace for your fitness level, you'll get fit without fatigue.
When I took a year off my triathlon training program (to write this book!), my energy plummeted. I couldn't believe it. It was as if someone had pulled the plug on my life force. When I returned to consistent training, I felt fully alive again. You will, too.
YOU WILL GET MORE OUT OF YOUR WORKOUTS
In this book, I show you how to exercise more efficiently by using a few simple strategies, such as monitoring your heart rate and breathing properly. Follow these and other techniques set forth in the training program, and you'll get fast results from your workouts without expending a huge amount of effort. It's all about training smart, not hard.
YOU WILL INJURY-PROOF YOUR BODY
When you stick with one sport like running, for example, you continually stress the same parts of your body. That can result in overuse injuries such as shin splints, stress fractures, knee problems, and tendinitis.
Training for a triathlon, however, incorporates three very different sports. This cross-training, as it is called, isn't as hard on the body, because it distributes the stress more evenly to your bones and muscles and develops more balanced fitness. That means less pain, fewer injuries, and a stronger body. Or as Donna Carlysle, a mother of three from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, put it: "I like training for the triathlon because of the variety. It strengthens every muscle in my body, and it keeps me fresher as opposed to getting all the aches when I'm just running or biking or lifting weights all the time." (For more on preventing injury, see Chapter 11.)
YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, regular exercise can lower your blood pressure; prevent diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers; and reduce your risk of osteoporosis and depression--just to name a few. Follow the training program in this book, and you'll spend less time at doctors' offices and more time enjoying your life!
YOU WILL LIVE LONGER
Regular exercise helps you prevent disease and fortifies your body. Training for something as complete as a triathlon lays a foundation of fitness that will ensure your later years are more pain free and fun filled. So you'll not only add years to your life but also add life to your years.
MENTAL BENEFITS
Although the physical payoffs of doing a triathlon are thrilling, the mental rewards you stand to reap are even greater, because they are truly timeless. The mental edge you'll develop by becoming a triathlete will never fade.
YOU WILL BE MORE PRODUCTIVE
Training for a triathlon will clear your mind and sharpen your focus. My most lucid and creative thoughts invariably arise during bike rides, after swims, or while running with my dog, Owen, around the lakes of Mount Tamalpais in Northern California first thing in the morning.
You will not only have these "lightbulb" moments during exercise but also return to your day feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the tasks that lie ahead of you. Essentially, as your body becomes stronger, your mind will follow.
YOU WILL LEARN TO HANDLE STRESS MORE EFFECTIVELY
In Chapter 12, you will learn the profound skill of developing grace under pressure--that is, increasing your composure as the pressure around you heightens--as well as how to apply that skill to any stressful situation. If you can learn to "relax into" more intense physical efforts during a 45- minute run, for example, you will be more able to maintain mental equanimity during your morning commute. One of the most rewarding outcomes of my triathlon career is that few things in my daily life unsettle me. I am now more mentally resilient. You will be, too.
YOU WILL BUILD ROCK-SOLID SELF-CONFIDENCE
To develop a strong, "in-your-bones" confidence, I believe you must achieve something that deeply challenges you. Training for and finishing a triathlon is certainly a remarkable achievement and a powerful way to build self-confidence that will last a lifetime.
YOUR MOOD WILL IMPROVE
Research shows that exercise improves your mood and lifts your spirits. And no wonder! When you put your body in motion, you can't help but feel alive and invigorated. They don't call it "runner's high" for nothing. Plus, training for a triathlon gets you outdoors, and spending time in the beauty of nature is bound to boost your mood!
YOUR MOTIVATION TO EXERCISE WILL SOAR
Studies on exercise adherence show that many people quit their exercise routines because they become bored or burned out. This can happen when you do the same thing day in and day out. Incorporating three different sports into your weekly exercise plan helps you to avoid burnout. When you grow tired of swimming along that godforsaken black line in your local pool, you can go for a run, a hike, or a bike ride around town or through the countryside. After all, each of these activities directly contributes to your triathlon success.
KEEPIN' IT REAL
Mark Allen, widely considered the greatest triathlete of all time, once summed up why he loved the sport of triathlon and why he was willing to sacrifice so much to pursue triathlon professionally for 15 years: "I love triathlon because it's real. It's just you and you out there. It's a raw reality. It's like no other experience in life, and I treasure that."
Our daily lives are often dictated by external forces--bosses, co-workers, friends. In a triathlon, you are in total control of your destiny. You have complete autonomy, which is hard to come by these days.
The process of training for and finishing a triathlon can give you insight into who you really are and what you're really made of, free from the limits imposed on you by others. In this regard, it might be seen as a vision quest--with aid stations!
If the variety of training for a triathlon isn't enough to keep you motivated, don't worry. In Chapter 2, I give you several other strategies for keeping your enthusiasm high throughout your training.
Not only that. The training program in this book will help you redefine how you see and do exercise so that you can alter your long-term view of physical fitness. You will begin to see each triathlon training session for what it can be: a unique opportunity for personal growth, a celebration of life, and a relaxing pause in your otherwise hectic and stressful life. You'll learn to make exercise about letting go, stepping out into the world, getting sunshine on your face, and having fun.
YOU WILL LEARN TO STRENGTHEN YOUR WEAKNESSES
As we age, we begin erecting physical and psychological walls, brick by brick, made of our fears, doubts, and excuses. And we do it without realizing it. This wall begins to widen the distance between ourselves and our human potential. Before we know it, we're nowhere close to the person we once were or to the person we wanted to become. That can be a very scary realization later in life.
Training for and finishing a triathlon forces you to smash through that wall and deal with your weaknesses (for example, chronic knee pain, poor self-image, fear of failure). When you strengthen your weaknesses, you become more capable of setting aside your fears and doubts to achieve other extraordinary things in your life.
SOCIAL BENEFITS
Whether you train for your triathlon alone or with others, you're sure to meet fellow triathletes along the way. You'll find that the camaraderie within the triathlon world is unmatched in any other sport. In addition to making new fitness friends, you stand to reap other social rewards as well.
