設定目標
The key to keeping yourself accountable is knowing what you’re trying to achieve and setting goals to help you get there.
Goal setting has long been known to be an important part of achieving success or accomplishing your goal. When you “wing-it”, more often than not, you will lose focus at some point along the journey and fall short of achieving whatever it is that you set out to accomplish. By creating specific goals, you can revisit your goal(s) when the going gets tough or you fall off track to help you refocus and get back on track.
懷孕：一生難忘的旅程
The role of women in today’s society has certainly evolved over the last 100 years. There are more female CEOs than ever; more women are choosing careers in business, science and law. There has also been a notable rise in women in sports. In 1972, Title IX was signed to provide everyone equal access to programs and activities (i.e. sports), that receives federal financial assistance. Since then there has been a 545% increase in the percentage of women playing college sports and a 990% increase in the percentage of women playing high school sports. Being a woman, and athlete myself, it’s amazing to see the progression over time and how far we’ve come.

兼顧鐵人三項與家庭
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to travel the world and watch you share the joy of racing and an active healthy lifestyle with your families. Regularly, I am asked about how I balance training, racing, my coaching business, and family. I gotta say, it’s not easy but it pales in comparison to the juggling act most of you have to do.
如何用立式划槳進行鐵人三項訓練
SUP can improve stability from your toes to your head, core strength and stability, leg strength and stability, which helps prevent injury, and it can also be used to develop cardiovascular fitness outside of the three main triathlon disciplines as a fun and easy way to cross-train. It can even be used to work on lat strength for your swim or maintain fitness while recovering from injury. But it takes a little bit of knowing what equipment to choose to effectively use SUP to help you to your next PR. In this guide to SUP, we’ll review how triathletes can benefit from standup paddling and how to find the right equipment.
INFINIT 多項運動營養
身為 INFINIT 配方專家（Formulation Specialist），我每天都會聽到一些常見問題。其中最讓運動員困惑的一點，就是如何為鐵人三項這類多項運動賽事規劃營養策略。許多人以為一種配方就能涵蓋整場比賽。但正如我接下來要說明的，事實並非如此。最適合騎車的營養並不是最適合跑步的營養，兩者使用同一種營養可能會在比賽當天給你帶來麻煩。
Women For Tri：最新進展
作者：Julia Polloreno 我們的首個年度已過半，我們已經打下了穩固的基礎，並正以強勁勢頭朝著最終目標邁進：縮小鐵人三項中的性別差距。 今年 5 月，大約在 Women For Tri 創始顧問委員會第一個任期的中期，我們在 Ironman Texas 聚在一起開會，並透過博覽會展位提升這項 Ironman/Life Time 新倡議的曝光度。我們與許多鐵人三項運動員和非鐵人三項愛好者交流了吸引更多女性參與這項運動的努力，甚至還賣出了不少 T 恤（Ironman 和 Life Time 按美元配捐），以支持我們更廣泛的募款工作（稍後詳述）。 我在博覽會上的一次交流，在我看來簡潔地回答了 Women For Tri 想要實現什麼。一對夫婦經過我們的展位，停下來看看我們在「賣」什麼。丈夫參加比賽，妻子則是來做後勤支援的。我問她是否也是鐵人三項運動員，她說不是，只是來支持丈夫的。另一位委員問她是否考慮過參加鐵人三項。她的丈夫頓時眼睛一亮：「我也很希望你來參加！」並不是她在等待伴侶的允許或鼓勵才去參加鐵人三項，而是看得出她從未真正想過自己也有這種可能。即使想過，她顯然也不知道從何開始。這正是 Women For Tri 的初衷：與更多女性開啟對話，播下可能性的種子。第二步則是為她們提供資訊和動力，開啟這段旅程。 Women For Tri Facebook...
「代謝效率」：是表現的助力還是阻力？
當下被吹捧為耐力訓練「成功秘訣」的最新潮流，是透過訓練和飲食讓自己變得「代謝高效」。這到底是什麼意思？「效率」和「代謝」放在一起，聽起來就像每位運動員的夢想，尤其是耐力運動員。畢竟，效率意味著「節省能量，沒有浪費或不必要的消耗」。那麼這肯定就是耐力表現的成功關鍵：盡可能堅持更久，盡可能少浪費能量。可惜的是，這種新潮流不過是一陣風！以提升表現為目的的「代謝效率」訓練或補給是有代價的，而且代價很大，恰恰就是你的表現。
