Training

The most basic aspect of participating in your first triathlon is choosing an event that suits your skill levels and experience. Consider participating in a duathlon which is a combination of running and cycling. You can also start by choosing an aquathlon which is a combination of swimming and running.
Whatever you choose, the best way to stay motivated and stick to your goals is to train with an expert or club. To master your skills and outperform in the race, practice is the key. When training for your first triathlon, a common guideline is:

• No fitness start 6 weeks before
• Average fitness start 4 weeks before

Treadmills

You can certainly train for a marathon on a treadmill. A treadmill can be used as a training tool for specific marathon speed workouts as well as your overall marathon training. In freezing weather or sweltering heating conditions outside, it would be a nice idea to use the treadmill and avoid potentially unsafe training outside.
In addition to the opportunity to train indoors, short training sessions on a treadmill can help boost your running speed in a triathlon. Treadmills are great training tools if used correctly in a workout routine. However, treadmill training can also be potentially injurious if the runner doesnt know how to use the machine correctly or pushes himself to keep up with a pace/speed thats too fast.
