TREE-ATHLETE CHALLENGE,
P48
“Aswell as raising awareness of green
energy, my tree-athlon also served to offer
a different perspective on the belief that
strength and stamina are separate, and
can’t be improved simultaneously.”

me howmanyfears prevent people from
taking up triathlon. The good news? Every
fear can be conquered, making finishing
your first race evenmore rewarding.”
MASTERMIDDLE-DISTANCE,
P36
“Taking on a middle-distance tri is not
to be underestimated, but with the
correct planning and commitment it’s
achievable for all. Take that leap in

P103
“ANewYear detox should be less about
deprivation and punishment, more about
setting realistic and achievable goals,
so that at the start of the season you’re
feeling refreshed and ready to race.”
INCREASE INTENSITY,
P96
“January is about getting back into your
training routine and assessing the damage
fromthe festive period. If you’ve kept
things ticking over, the increase in intensity
thismonthwon’t be toomuch of a shock.”
ADD VARIETY IN THE POOL,
P94
“Beingmotivated to swim is key to
improving. Rather than just ploughing up
and down, thismonth’s session is designed
tomake your pool timemore enjoyable
and, ultimately, more productive.”
