7 Tips on Structuring a Successful Triathlon Training Plan
If you are looking to set yourself up for a successful season, you need a solid training plan. This plan can come from a personal coach, a professionally designed standard plan, or you can create one on your own. To get your best result, you should not just go out and simply “wing it.”
In the event you aren’t able to hire a coach and do not really fined any standard canned plan you can work with, you will need to create one yourself. Here are some tips on how you can go about successfully creating a training plan to get the most out of your triathlon season.

Healthy Kids Need Unstructured Play Outside
Today’s kids are busy with structured activities, homework, social media and technology. Many kids never get to just “play” outside with friends. The result may be rewiring our kids in ways that decrease their health and well-being.
The good news is that we can still find many easy, free ways to get our kids outside where they can clear their minds, observe, be curious, explore and be active. Spring is the perfect season to develop some new nature-based habits. Remember that an organized outside sport game, (although fun and active), is not an example of “unstructured time outside.”
