How to Plan Your Triathlon Race Calendar for the Year (Ironman, 70.3, Olympic & Sprint)

Описание: Most triathletes overload their calendar with back-to-back races, hoping to race their way into fitness. That strategy rarely works and often costs athletes their best season.

In this video, I break down exactly how to build a smart, strategic 2026 triathlon race calendar so you can peak when it actually matters instead of burning out or getting injured.

Choosing the right races isn’t about doing more — it’s about aligning your training, recovery, travel, and life demands into one cohesive plan.
