A practical pathway into sprint and Olympic triathlon

Marni Sumbal’s guide brings together the key parts of preparing for a first triathlon: foundational training, sport-specific advice for runners, cyclists and swimmers, and race-day logistics. Its structure moves from triathlon basics—including gear checklists and transition guidance—to day-by-day plans spanning 12 weeks for either sprint or Olympic distance. Injury prevention, stretching and mental fitness are also included, making the book a broad preparation resource rather than a training schedule alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Athletes in one sport who want to prepare for a first multisport race.
  • First-time triathletes seeking a structured 12-week plan for sprint or Olympic distance.
  • Runners, cyclists and swimmers looking for guidance on transitions and race-day preparation.
