What equipment do you need to get started with triathlon? Join us as we discuss the best equipment to get your triathlon journey started. This is the first of two episodes, and we'll be focusing on swimming and running.

In this episode, we’ll be talking about the needs of the preseason and what you can focus on as the coming season fast approaches. In this episode, we outline a new direction for the podcast. One that focuses on self coaching including discussions of periodization, crafting effective workouts, mastering key skills, and using your Garmin data to make informed decisions every step of the way.

We discuss an article we found on triathlete.com titled "Triathlon Can Change Your Life. It Can't Fix It"
