Tips for Triathlon Training


The former CEO of Makena Capital Management, LLC, David Colin Burke is currently the managing director of the family office Tuolumne Capital, LP. An alumnus of the University of Virginia, he maintains affiliations with the institution as a lecturer with the Virginia McIntire School of Commerce. In his leisure time, David Colin Burke enjoys training for triathlons.

With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic temporarily closing most health clubs, triathletes are looking for new ways to maintain their fitness and train for their next event. One idea to get your cycling miles in is to invest in a turbo trainer, which is a type of stationary bike with an advanced design. Some turbo trainers use fluid or magnets to provide resistance, and some “smart” models even allow you to adjust resistance with your phone.

To maintain your swimming muscles, try using resistance bands to strengthen the parts of your arm and back used in a swimming stroke. Increasing strength in areas such as the triceps and pectoral muscles will also help you become a stronger and more efficient swimmer. Lastly, while you can continue to run outside as part of your triathlon training, maintain social distancing by avoiding crowded trails and high-traffic times of day.
