Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by

Scientific Traathlon.com.

I'm your host, Michael, and this episode is beginner tip 9, where I'll talk about injury

prevention.

This is a topic that was requested by Dean Prophys in the United States, who wrote me an email that said, I may have

mentioned this before, but I think a beginner tip episode on injury prevention would be useful.

It's such a big problem for so many beginners. Just a short episode on the right initial

strengthening exercises for feet, glutesies shoulder core the right mindset even basic

stuff like start working on everyday posture as it has huge effects in running and swimming basics

in sleep and good nutrition maybe not enough content but i know personally i would have given

a lot to know this stuff going on.

Thanks a lot for your email, Dean.

It's a fantastic topic suggestion.

So I pushed it way ahead in the queue, actually, to get this done right away.

Because I don't want anybody to have to wait for this episode and get injured in the meantime, obviously. So let's get it done

sooner rather than later. There are a lot of things, as you mentioned, that go into injury

prevention. So that's the first thing I'll mention. It's impossible to cover in 10, 15 minutes.

So I'll talk about a few additional resources, but this is more of a general episode

or general tip. But let's start with the most common reasons for injuries. And the number one

reason is doing too much too soon. So that's why you need to make sure that you have a smart

and structured training plan that progresses gradually gradually as we talked about both in previous beginner tips

and especially the resource I would recommend is episode 84 of that Treflon show
