In this blog post, we are going to share with you a typical, personal training schedule from a retired American professional triathlete named Erin Storie.
Let’s check it out below:
As a professional triathlete, she trains anywhere from 20-30 hours a week. Apart from the physical training, a huge part of her training includes her nutrition, recovery and massages. She does all of these things to make sure her body is at its’ best every day!
Her workouts vary a lot and look different each day, but here are some examples of what a training day might be:
As you can imagine, she needs a lot of good-quality, nutrient dense food to keep herself fueled throughout her training. Before her morning workouts, she’ll usually have a piece of toast with Wild Friends Almond Butter, half a banana and honey.Â
After swimming and running, she’ll usually eat toast, eggs and avocado + a smoothie with protein powder. She’ll have a quick snack before my bike session and while on the bike, she’ll have a Clif Gu.
Afterwards, she’ll typically make a dinner that includes sweet potatoes, vegetables, and chicken.
Takeaway
It is so much fun training for three sports because there is always room for improvement. Training can be difficult, but she always tells herself to have fun, be patient and fuel properly!
If you’ve ever thought about trying out the sport of triathlon, we highly recommend it! There are triathlons that happen all over the world that you can train and compete it. If you don’t want to go it alone, maybe recruit a friend or family member to join you!
