TRIATHLETES GETTING BACK INTO SHAPE
Aug 02, 2020
The Jordan Triathlon Association is working hard with its athletes to return them to top shape following the enforced lay-off due to Covid-19.
The Association has implemented a plan that will see them step up training with the aim of returning them to competition fitness as soon as possible.
Head, Dr. Tareq Khayyat, said all of the athletes have been provided with everything the require, and added that the association has closely followed them throughout the lockdown whilst they were training at home following West Asian Triathlon guidance.
“The training did benefit our athletes as it kept them motivated during the tough months of not being able to train together,” he said. “There were challenges set on line by the West Asian association which kept them competing against each other and encouraged them to train harder.”
Triathlon consists of the three disciplines including Swimming, Cycling and Running and it has been an Olympic sport since Sydney 2000.
The National team is training twice daily under the instruction of national Coach, Abdulaziz Al Shu’aibi.
