How to train?
In a triathlon, the average participant spends at least 50 percent of the total race duration swimming, 50 percent cycling and about 30 percent of the race duration running.
A participants who wants to develop should do equal number of swimming, cycling and running, but with a longer bike training.
The cycling is expected to be at least 1 hour, swimming 30 minutes and running 40minutes on your training.
