The Empowered Athlete
About Coach Mantak I should have never been a world champion triathlete. As a young child, I was hours away from a permanent limp, yet I overcame multiple obstacles throughout my life to live my dream. We all encounter challenges, roadblocks and disappointment on the road to our goals and dreams. During my pro racing career, I was mostly on my own, no coach to guide and motivate me through the maze of triathlon training and racing. The main reason I became a coach is to bring my experience and talents to being the coach I never had. No one wins alone. Through my years of education and experience, together, we create a roadmap that fits into your busy life. I coach you to a greater sense of accomplishment and empowerment, preventing overwhelm, stress and injury along the way. If you want to feel empowered, confident, proud, lean, fit and fast, contact me. Together we’ll chase down your triathlon dreams. I coach athletes of ALL ability levels locally and across the country.
#1 Mistake in Strength Training Triathletes Make ALL The Time
Triathletes are well known for training hard and training consistently. It is effective strength training triathletes need to pay more attention to. In strength training triathletes often get it wrong. The fastest way to get dramatic triathlon results in less time is through strength training. The #1 mistake I see in my students ALL the time is the temptation to turn their strength training session into a cardio session. Most strength training triathletes sessions contain low weights, high reps sessions. If you would benefit from specific guidance, Ben Greenfield has developed an 8 month Tri-Ripped Triathlon Training Program is the first triathlon strength training program that helps you to increase lean muscle with low body fat percentage. Strength training triathletes is so important for both strength and performance. You will benefit dramatically from strength training triathlete specific sessions and speed work. Strength training triathletes produces amazing results.
Couch to Sprint Triathlon Training Plan for the Busy Person
Being the resident certified personal trainer in the office, I have been tasked with building a training plan for James that is realistic for his life and schedule. Once a week I will post about beginner questions for Triathlon. We will talk about gear, nutrition, transition, and any other topics that come up during James’ training. James will also be posting once a week to share about his training progress. We have included the simple plan that I have put together for James to use over the next 12 weeks. Too much, too soon will often suppress an athletes immune system, causing them to lose a week of training. We are starting off a bit on the easier side and just focusing on time rather than distance to ease in to the training. The plan is never more than 4 days a week, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be a 5th workout day. The training times are short because sprint triathlons aren’t long. You need consistent training and some brick workouts in order to be successful.

10 Things Not to Say to a Triathlete
Whether you’re married to a triathlete or are simply friends, chances are you’ve said something you shouldn’t have. Most triathletes discuss their experiences due to the boost in self-esteem and confidence these races provide. There comes a time when a triathlete comes across a know-it-all. The bulk of triathletes have dedicated countless hours to training knowledge and techniques. Such assumptions dilutes the blood, sweat and tears most triathletes put into their training. For many triathletes, there’s no end to their training or racing. Perhaps one of the most common questions asked of triathletes is how to lose weight. While triathletes are at the peak of their strength and endurance, they aren’t weight loss coaches. Next time you’re compelled to ask a triathlete how to lose weight, instead, discuss their training routines. We’ve covered the basics of what not to say to a triathlete.
