Triathlon

I have been taking on triathlon since 2025. It is a sport where you do swimming, cycling, and running all in succession.

When you stick to just one sport, it’s easy to get bored, hit a plateau, and lose interest. With triathlon, if you get tired of swimming, you can always switch to cycling or running. When you’re worried that your running isn’t improving, your cycling or swimming gets better instead. Every week there’s something fun about training.

Your overall physical condition improves. Swimming relies heavily on upper-body aerobic capacity and back muscles. Cycling places great demand on the quadriceps. Running requires strong hamstrings and calf muscles. Each discipline works a different part of the body, allowing you to train your whole body.

It is less affected by physical attributes. Each individual sport — running, swimming, and cycling — favors certain body types. Because triathlon combines all three, the influence of any single physical trait is reduced.
