Hi from Brazil Taren! nice explanation! I am just one year in Sprint triathlon! maybe one year more of hard work I will feel comfortable and confident to go for the olympic triathlon. Thank's for inspire us!
Thanks Taren! I'm training for my first triathlon, and when I tell people, they almost always respond with "Wow, I could never do that." I find myself downplaying it and telling them, "Well, it's just a sprint..." Most people still seem impressed that I'm attempting a triathlon. No one I have talked to about triathlons has ever said anything to question the "realness" of my triathlon. I have found the triathlon community super supportive and nonjudgmental regarding the distance I'm doing.
Very helpful videos. I have watched almost daily since you have gone daily. Many of the tips, suggestions, and recommendations you have spoken of I have been incorporating, and I believe it is paying off. Thanks Taren.
I had my first sprint 2 weeks ago. I was really uncomfortable in the water. The lack of visibility was so disorienting, somehow it was only 500 m so it was over in a few minutes (8 min). I really enjoyed the overall experience and never really lost control over myself on the bike and the run. Next week I have my first Olympic and the distance scares me all of a sudden. In a pool 1500 m doesn't scare me and I'm actually really comfortable once I find my rhythm. Any tips on how to overcome it or do I like Nike says "just do it"?
Thank's Taren! I'm going back to sprint races and become a better triathlete. I did 70.3 and a hand full of olympic distances. You're right I need to be in control of me during races . Kona is still my number one bucket list before I disappear in this wonderful planet.
great video Taren, can you make a video explaining the difference between olympic and half ironman? Im at the point where Im comfortable with Olympic, and Id like to bridge the gab to the half ironman.

Could you show how your bike is set up for T1, especially your shoes clipped in the pedals and rubber banded to the frame? Perhaps, with your bike on your trainer, you could demonstrate how you mount your bike, start pedaling, then get your feet inside your shoes. Thanks.
Happy 150 Anniversary ! I like the hours per week it takes to train for Sprint and Olympic. Those are the two distances I am interested in. The problem I have is how to use my time wisely! Some weeks I neglect swimming, other bikes, other yoga which helps stretch out all those sore places.
Finished my first ever triathlon (sprint) 2 weeks ago today! Your videos are sooooo helpful to me. Now I am SO CRAVING for more races. I trained for my first without a coach except only for a swim coach. Now I feel like a need a triathlon coach. Do I have to? I feel like doing a couple more sprints in the next year but I also feel like I know absolutely NOTHING about proper training, nutrition, etc.
+Bilal Kartit that's a very big question and de ends on your level of fitness and experience. Coach Pat's training plans have the distances typical for various levels of triathlete, that would answer your question better
Hi Taren. I also have been bouncing back and forth with these distances and I feel quite lost and don't know where to focus. I think I will be focusing again on sprints even though they don't say it's a triathlon. pfffft
Hey Taren, great video, I enjoy your content everyday as the first thing after waking up ( works because I'm living in germany). I would be realy interested in a comparison of the sprint/olympic section and half-ironmans. I would also be interested in an interview with nicole, how she managed to make the transition into the pro field. Keep going ! :)
Finished my first triathlon with Your tips. I’m 45, overcame chemical poisoning, and have come back to life! I placed 17th overall. Thanks, Taren! I love Tri!
I build guitars as a side hobby from my main job which is pastoring and music. Nitrocellulose Lacquer got into my system and shut me down. lost 40 lbs and ability to walk or see for a bit. Back 100% now. Just finished 30 miles on my bike just now. Love your show.
Ok, Taren, you made me do it! My first Triathlon merits my first Triathlon video. Your training tips helped so much. Enjoy and share! ruclips.net/video/wOtW3QqhOhs/видео.html
...'did you do a real triathlon'... yeah and that usually comes from a guy that's about 50 lbs overweight. Back at them "I didn't see you on the course Wednesday night"...
Another great video! I was wondering if you could talk about how to do well if you can't train much. I can only train 2-4 hours a week so I need really hard 30-60 minute workouts. Any tips to help me train properly?
That part of the video when Taren states the distances you should be striving for to step up to Olympic distances and you turn away from the screen because you think he's staring into your soul.
The distance that TOKYO Olympics are using is a sprint. so doess that mean Olympic is now sprint?????? In Australia we now refer to 1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km as a Standard Distance.
Shane Porteous I'm of the same thought. I have seen around the UK 'standard distance' tri's that are the same as you said. Is this just a thing in uk and Austrialia or a normality in triathlon, Taren?
Just did my first sprint on Saturday. Was looking at doing one or two more races this year but can't decide if I should do more sprints then try olympics next year, any opinions?
I'll do my first "real" triathlon in a few weeks, really looking forward to it. It'll be a sprint to try out the distance first, depending on how it goes, I will choose my next distance accordingly. I am wonderring how I should pace myself. Should I choose the same intensity that I would normally for the individual disciplines or rather like one long effort, with the heart rate in a zone that I would choose in one prolonged effort?
+Lennart Meinke you'll have to do more and more race specific work as the race approaches to figure out your exact pacing. Typically, age group athletes can be anywhere between 10-20% slower than their fresh times in the individual distances
Haha great job on this one! Been sat here being all smug just waiting for it to kick in!! (Bit of an ultra distance lunatic for charity events, definitely not competitive) Anyway 70.3 vs full for sure. Big boys pants vs super hero pants! 😂
Hey, Taren, new subscriber - great videos for info and motivation! I'm a runner background guy interested in maybe doing a sprint triathlon within a year, however, I'm lacking in the swimming area (therefore I'm focusing on a lot of your swimming technique videos). I noticed in one of your swim vlogs a month or two ago you swam nearly 10k in session! Is that typical for your half ironman triathlon training, or was that special super-endurance training for your recent river marathon swim? Seems like a looooooooooooooong way off for me to get there!
Hi - I registered for a sprint (S), but the day before, there is a super sprint (XS), the XS would it be a good warm up to do the S triathlon on next day? really don't know, burned before starting or warm up ??? need help - thanks for your advices !
My wetsuit is so tight around my neck that I can’t breath and panic in the water. Would it be weird to wear “floaty shorts or pants” at a race. I just want a little buoyancy so I’m not at a total disadvantage. They always say at the beginning of our race- remember you can’t drown in a wetsuit- does that apply to the shorts too?
And do wear the shorts or pants make it feel like your dunking your head? Will I be able to keep my head up to breath. Will I be pitched forward too much?

Hey, Taren! Coming from the future to say that in 2019 your videos get A LOT better! =) Jokes aside, useful info there. Thanks!

Holy man the PanAm pool! I haven't swam there in ages! Thanks for the flashback!
at 1:30 skip the boring and jump to the point

i did my first sprint triathlon on saturday just 300m swim ... in 1:27its not so bad ,or?
Let's get some more info on Olympic vs Half Ironman, thanks Taren.
great video Taren, can you make a video explaining the difference between olympic and half ironman? Im at the point where Im comfortable with Olympic, and Id like to bridge the gab to the half ironman.

Could you show how your bike is set up for T1, especially your shoes clipped in the pedals and rubber banded to the frame? Perhaps, with your bike on your trainer, you could demonstrate how you mount your bike, start pedaling, then get your feet inside your shoes. Thanks.

+Steve Marshall brick workouts are the best use of your time
Triathlon Taren I will have to review your brick workout videos
Taken, dude you are awesome. So inspiring. I'm so glad to be following you. I have so many videos to watch. Plz keep sharing. You ROCK dude!
You've got nearly 700 to watch! It'll take a while. Haha.

I trained for my first without a coach except only for a swim coach. Now I feel like a need a triathlon coach. Do I have to? I feel like doing a couple more sprints in the next year but I also feel like I know absolutely NOTHING about proper training, nutrition, etc.
typical training sessions or the distances would be very helpful

Hi Taren. I also have been bouncing back and forth with these distances and I feel quite lost and don't know where to focus. I think I will be focusing again on sprints even though they don't say it's a triathlon. pfffft
I want to try a sprint as I've never done a triathlon and I think I will learn a lot in the sprint (transition/pace...)
Hey Taren, great video, I enjoy your content everyday as the first thing after waking up ( works because I'm living in germany).

Thanks for your videos...Just decided to triathlon.. you have helped my wife and I a lot... regards
Glad to hear it!
This helps! Do more comparisons!
Finished my first triathlon with Your tips. I’m 45, overcame chemical poisoning, and have come back to life! I placed 17th overall. Thanks, Taren! I love Tri!
Congrats!! Chemical poisoning, that sounds horrid!

would love to hear about sprint/olympic vs a half ironman
What should I do if I’m training for a Olympic in august but a sprint in September?
Can you talk about Xterra races as well?
how about super sprint
Great video!
where were you placing in sprints when you moved to Olympic distance?
Were those average times you threw out for average age group men or people in general?
I'd say comparing race strategies especially comparing how you race the bike as a % of FTP has been a question mark for me
Did you say 37 Kay swim!??? Ouch

Yep, Teamtrainiac.com

Super Sprint vs Sprint! Since they're good for first triathlons

+DDaley12 that's a workout specific for the river swim. For a new triathlete doing sprints 1-2k is an excellent swim

I'd say just go for the sprint. I wouldn't do 2 in 2 days.
OD Vs ITU.
HAPPY CANADA DAY!

Let them snicker about Sprints!!! it can be a BITCH if you make it that!!!
