Training for Triathlons and Prospecting is the Same
The similarities between endurance athletic events like the
Triathlon and Prospecting are almost scary. I had no idea they
were so much a like when I decided that I should run Triathlons.
It just seemed that this old body needed some rejuvenation, and
triathlons aren't as boring as just running forever, they add
the possibility of drowning or crashing your bike!
Anyway, the only way to train for endurance sports like
swimming, bicycling, and running is to set aside a specific time
5 days a week for training. In my case this is usually Long Slow
Distance (LSD) work. This is how I can build a training base for
endurance. I judge the level of my training by using a heart
rate monitor that tells me how hard I am working. There is a
range within which I should train for at least an hour a day.
My only other responsibility is to be sure that I am using the
form that is most efficient for each of the events, so that
practice really does make perfect. If you practice wrong, then
you develop the skill "perfectly wrong." I don't want to do that.
Then, all I need to do it DO IT. If I calculate the correct
heart rate zone, train on a daily basis, and practice the
correct form, then I should be ready to perform in each of the
Triathlons I enter.
The same basic factors apply to Prospecting. First of all
Prospecting is an endurance event. You benefit most by
Prospecting on a regular basis for a long time, long slow
Prospecting - LSP.
Secondly, you need to make sure you are doing it correctly, the
right form. We, of course, suggest our BLITZ CALL
