Ideal Outdoor Workouts for Triathletes

Ideal Outdoor Workouts for Triathletes

As triathletes, we are perhaps more attuned to having to undertake training sessions indoors more than other athletes, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take every opportunity to head into the great outdoors and enjoy as much fresh air as possible in the form of outdoor workouts.

Of course, living in the UK means that for the most part, swimming is done in local pools and for a number of months a year this is the only option, but from April – October (depending on your location and your hardiness to cold water) Open Water Swim venues are open across the country and can be embraced with open neoprene arms.

There is nothing quite like open water swimming to get the heart and mind working, adding a bit of variability to your training, and escaping the endless repetition of smashing out lengths at your local pool.

The impact of an outdoor workout in your local open water swim venue really can’t be underestimated. It builds water confidence, helps your body acclimatise to the different temperatures faced, gets you used to other conditions such as murky water and the impact of sunlight (check out the Vapour goggles with polarised lens to help with this!) and allows you to practice sighting. Head over to your local open water swim venues and try them out. They are usually run by super friendly folk who are only too happy to help beginners. Be sure to check what facilities and safety provisions are in place too.

Shop Vapour Goggles 

No open water lakes near you? Then have a look for a local Lido. These open early in the Spring and can still offer you some training in your wetsuit and a bit of fresh air to get your outdoor workout fix. Inspired to embrace open water but need a wetsuit? Why not look at the entry-level Advance which also happens to be the only 10/10 wetsuit in the world.

Shop Advance Wetsuit

On to cycling! Are you a fair-weather cyclist? Is the only option a turbo session in the shed/garage? If you have answered yes to either (or both) of these, think again!

With the advancement of clothing technology there is no such thing as bad kit, just the wrong kit for the weather condition. Hitting the road in the dark, wet winter months is not the most appealing of activities but with the right kit and the right mindset, you should still consider breaking the monotony of sitting on the Turbo. Embrace the weather when it is good!

Running is probably where, as Triathletes, we spend most of our time doing our workouts outdoors. However, are you bored of running on the roads of your local estates? Then why not hit the trails. Need some focused speedwork? Then head to a running track and embrace your inner 400m runner. If you do find yourself hitting the treadmill in winter during the long cold months then why not swap your RX3 compression shorts (you are using these, right?) for the RX3 tights and hit the cold night air, and if it's raining outside remember that nothing makes you feel more warrior-like than running in a downpour.

Shop Compression Tights

Even strength and conditioning sets can be done outdoors, just find a patch of grass and a bit of open space and hit those crunches, planks and push-ups. No excuses.

Remember that staying safe is of course key whenever you're outside, so make sure that someone knows where you are going, the activity you are doing and how long you are expecting to be out. Dress for the weather, use sun cream and take lots of water if it’s hot, or add layers and waterproof clothing in cold conditions (still not forgetting the importance of hydration of course!). Be sure to use a tailored open water swim venue with appropriate lifeguard provisions, and even then consider using a safety buoy as standard, such as our Swim Safety Buoy and Dry Bag.

Shop Swim Safety Buoy

So there you have it, lots of tips and ideas to consider, now just make sure you make the most of your outdoor workouts. Happy training.

Our speed cuffs are iconic… A game changing invention that made getting wetsuits off quickly and easily in T1, out of the swim and onto the bike. This ‘simple’ feature saves valuable time for athletes racing, didn’t exist 16 years ago. We’re pretty proud of our speed cuffs, a concept now on swim wetsuits throughout the triathlon industry.

Challenge Roth 2025 Recap   A race like no other and one for the history books. For the first time ever, Challenge Roth saw a non-wetsuit swim for both the pros and age groupers! With lots of people scrambling for swimskins when the call was made, we were proud to be right there in the thick of it, being able to support athletes in and out of the water, as the official swim sponsor.   A huge thank you to everyone who came down to our test swims, chatted to the team and took the plunge with ZONE3. From first strokes to final strides, your energy made the weekend.   Whether it was your first full distance race or you know Roth like the back of your hand, you reminded us why we do this: for the shared grit, passion, and love of the triathlon. 🎥 @jacktriathlon 📍 @challengeroth

What. A. Day. 💥 Last Thursday Zone3’s Lake Roadshow Hero event popped up at Swim Six Hills. The day had it all: sunshine, swim tips, wetsuit testing, free swims, refreshing drinks and seriously good vibes. Massive shoutout to Pro Triathlete & @nebulatri.team Coach @rebecca.anderbury who came down to share her swim wisdom. She had a great crowd gathered lakeside, and for good reason, her knowledge and tips were gold. Everyone had the chance to try on a range of Zone3 wetsuits in different styles and sizes, then jump straight in for a free swim at the beautiful open water swim venue. No pressure, just pure open water joy. What really made it special? The mix of people. Triathletes chasing race goals testing upgrades in suits. First-timers just dipping a toe in. Casual open water swimmers wanting a suit to see them through the winter. All in it together. Missed out on trying a wetsuit? Swim Six Hills has the full size curve of ZONE3 Advance wetsuits all season long, or check out where we’ll be at the next stop of the roadshow.

There’s a lot of kit to think about for a triathlon. ✅ The perfect fitting wetsuit ✅ Doubling up on swim caps for warmth and to hold goggles in place ✅ Goggles suitable for the light conditions (& that won’t fog up!) ✅ Anti chafe balm - does what it says on the tin ✅ Sunglasses to protect your eyes on the bike and run ✅ Stretchy laces to save time in transition. These are just a *few* of the things you need to pack for race day. But don’t panic. We’ve got the FULL kit list, so you can tick it off item by item. Comment ‘packing list’ and we’ll DM it to you 👊

Zips go on the back, people! For newbies putting on their first ever triathlon or swim specific wetsuit, we get it, it can be confusing to know which way around the suit should go. Surf wetsuits can have zips on the front or back, swimrun wetsuits are often on the front, and shorties vary too. But FYI all triathlon wetsuits zip up at the back. We’ve been popping up at lots of different events and lakes around the UK the last few months, helping people into wetsuits who haven’t worn one before. And we have seen a lot of people trying to put them on backwards. So if you are a newbie or know a newbie, this is for you 👊 📍 The Quays, Mytchett @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching

We’ve seen so many people at events over the last few weeks wearing their swim goggles on their head waaaay before they’re due to swim. Only put your goggles on as you walk down to the water and are about to get in, this stops the heat from your head causing them to fog up! We also recommend splashing your face and dunking your goggles in the water before you start swimming - to eliminate the temperature difference on each side of the lens. And DON’T TOUCH the inside of the lens with your fingers, you’ll wear off the anti-fog coating. 📍 The Quays, @quays_watersports @nice1wetsuitscoaching, Mytchett Lake #tipsfornewbies #triathlon #openwaterswim

We had an awesome crew of ambassadors taking on the 5km swim, shoutout to @livs_is_livs who did it in skins 👏 and to @chloedooley who showed up and gave it everything. And a massive congrats to Zone3 Pro @j0m3sf1 for taking the win in the SwimRun - absolutely flying out there, despite the weather warnings! Open water season is officially on, and we’re buzzing to be part of it. @great_swim

This weekend, the Zone3 team also volunteered at the incredible 24-Hour Swim Relay at Shepperton @levelwateruk 🏊‍♀️ We're proud to support Level Water, a charity that gives children with disabilities the opportunity to learn to swim, offering 1-to-1 lessons that empower kids with confidence, movement, and freedom in the water. The 24 hour event brought swimmers together for a non-stop relay challenge, raising vital funds to provide these lessons across the UK. To everyone swimming, supporting, and staying awake through the night: thank you for making a difference. This is what sport is all about.

Blenheim Palace Triathlon 2025 brought together athletes, ambition, and the unmistakable energy of race season. 💥 As the Official Swim Sponsor, Zone3 was proud to support the event which included the British and English Sprint Distance Championships and GB Age-Group Team Qualifier. With athletes of every level pushing their limits and our ambassadors leading from the front, it was a weekend to remember. The rain came down, but the spirit? Unshakeable. The determination? Unstoppable. The atmosphere? Electric ⚡ From first-time triathletes to GB hopefuls, every stroke, step, and smile was a reminder of why we do this. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat! And huge kudos to everyone who raced! @blenheimpalacetriathlon

Are you ready for the Arla Great North Swim in June? @zone3official takes you through ‘sighting’ in open water, so you swim in the right direction and don’t zig zag your way around. Practicing sighting before the event will make sure you swim in a straight line and ensures you don’t swim further than you need to on the day. If you’re swimming in the pool, why not grab a bottle and use it as a marker at the end of your lane. Try to lift your eyes or head to look at it every few strokes. If you can practice in the open water, a landmark in the distance is a good marker to swim towards too! #openwaterswimming #zone3 #zone3official #greatnorthswim2025
