Triathlon training is tough and grueling for even the strongest athletes. So it's no surprise that a recent study revealed more than half of the triathletes monitored suffered an overuse injury during their course of training. While competing in triathlons is a great way to get fit, you are at risk for injury if you don't pace yourself.
Finally, and most importantly, listen to your body. If you miss a training session, don't try to overcompensate and go at it harder next time. Build rest days into your training schedule to relax and recuperate. Tendonitis, sprains and strains, knee and hip pain, and unfortunately fractures, are all too common in triathletes.
