#TeamTCUK co-founder and coach, James Pryke, offers his expert advice on how to keep consistent with your training and why it's so important, particularly during the off-season.

Being able to stay consistent with your training is essential to enable you to get the best possible outcome from your programme. The aim of your programme is to ensure gradual progression from week to week, from one training block to the next, and through the different phases of your periodised plan.

Most of our #TeamTCUK athletes work full-time and more than understand the difficulties of balancing the demands of their day job with training. But there's one athlete, Jo Sutton, who has a little more to contend with than most. Never work with children and animals, right Jo?!

Working full time and juggling triathlon is common place amongst a lot of triathletes but there are certainly aspects of my job that don’t go hand in hand with the sport.

Swim analysis can be vital to improving your swim and highlights the key areas to work. A new bike or a bike ‘fit’ is commonplace among triathletes or an upgrade of wheels or a more aero helmet - the list is endless!

However, when athletes have a poor race or find they didn’t quite achieve what they are capable of, it is more often than not down to the run phase of the race.

Answer these questions honestly:

Back in April we were approached by the team at dhb,
