Training on your own is very important – Coach Luis Vargas
The majority of the world champion triathletes train on their own quite a bit. However, your average local triathlete is usually not interested in training alone. They want to join a team, meet people, go out and use the sport as a social outlet. This is a good thing in many ways.
However, what I dislike is that it makes every session into a race. It becomes extremely difficult to let people go ahead. Every single workout is a session to exhaustion.
If these athletes do not also train by themselves and slow down it will be very difficult to develop the endurance required for our sport. As with speed, injury or illness is the only thing that will slow these athletes down. It would be best if days off were voluntary rather than forced upon these athletes.
