Having a Triathlon Club in Barcelona like the one we have at Prorunners is a real pleasure for practicing the three sports regularly and in optimal conditions.
We know that triathlon is not an easy sport to start with, as it requires a lot of equipment and mastering three different sports to carry it out.
Additionally, meticulous planning is required if a triathlete wants to swim, bike, and run on a weekly basis while maintaining consistency and regularity. Training in all three sports weekly and balancing it with family, work, and social life is quite a challenge!
But don’t let any of this scare you, as we strive to democratize triathlon so that learning it, practicing it, and improving in each discipline is as easy as possible. Here’s how we do it!
SWIMMING
Having your head submerged, wearing goggles, thinking about technique, orienting yourself to swim straight, and turning to continue to the next lap… there are many aspects to actively consider during a training session. It gets even more complicated when you add the fact that you’re in open water, where you have to wear a wetsuit and take waves into account.
At Prorunners, we have different swimming training sessions every week so that all of this becomes second nature and doesn’t stress or overwhelm us.
We offer Swimming sessions for Beginners, focused 100% on improving technique throughout the class.
We also have sessions for triathletes who want to enhance their technique but are also looking for a demanding lesson that challenges their performance.
And during the summer months (June to August), we head to the sea for open water swimming training, practicing orientation, testing the wetsuit, and learning how to tackle the waves…
CYCLING
Road cycling is one of those sports that initially commands a lot of respect. We get on a machine and “merge” with it through cleats to pedal along various routes, often within a group, sharing the road with cars and pedestrians.
As a Triathlon Club, we’ve got the cycling section fully covered, offering scheduled rides every weekend for all levels.
If you’ve already mastered the bike and have some experience, you can choose from our low, medium, or high-level groups, depending on the distance and average speed you’d like to maintain.
And if you’re still learning to handle a road bike, we offer cycling clinics every month and a half, covering all the basics and essentials to help you become a confident cyclist who can ride safely on the road.
RUNNING
We can confirm that running is the easiest sport to master and typically causes the least concern for a triathlete. After all, we start running at a very young age and use it in various situations—whether it’s playing other sports like soccer or handball, running to catch a bus, or hurrying home when it starts to rain.
However, it’s true that running requires special attention when it comes to weekly load, the duration and intensity of workouts, and our posture and form with each stride.
Running is one of the most effective sports out there, but at the same time, if we’re not careful, it can lead to injuries that may prevent us from continuing to train.
Our roots lie in running, as we were initially founded as a Running Club, so we offer a variety of training sessions suited to any level of runner:
- Primeras Zancadas: Temporary groups (usually lasting 3 months) specifically designed for beginners who want to take their first steps into the world of running.
- Running for Beginners: Groups aimed at people with minimal running experience who want to continue learning and improving through low to moderate intensity sessions.
- Performance Running: Groups for experienced runners and triathletes who want to challenge themselves at high paces and intensities through intervals and speed variations.
As you can see, Prorunners is a Triathlon Club in Barcelona that offers a wide variety of training sessions, allowing almost anyone who wants to enter the world of triathlon to do so, gradually learning all the concepts and details of the three sports that make up triathlon.
