Tip number five from Kevin Collington… Training partners help a lot. Wolves are more successful in packs. For us it could be someone that pushes us to go harder (for me – Sam Appleton), or just someone to socialize with.
For age group triathletes, and especially during ‘COVID times’ this tip may extend to virtual and live training sessions with friends, squad mates and even your Coach… but sometimes the simply accountability is what is most valuable!
Training partners may help you get out of bed or they may encourage to go easy when you are supposed to – most importantly; they are someone to share the journey and make it fun!
