The  Virgin Active London Triathlon (VALT) (www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk)  and its principle partners have launched a 13 part Triathlon Training Series  designed to help athletes prepare for the London Triathlon or any other event  this summer. The videos are designed to help both first time and experienced  competitors.

The  videos were filmed at Virgin Active West London and Marc Jenkins home in South  Wales.

On  the videos Olympian Marc Jenkins of the Challenger World Triathlon team  comments; &quot;This is phenomenally comprehensive series of videos that provides  the breadth of information a beginner needs to enjoy their day, whilst some  individual videos such as Gatorade&#039;s Hydration strategy and planning or  Maxifuel&#039;s nutrition video&#039;s will provide veteran triathletes with information  that will help them refine their race strategies to make those little gains  that make such a difference.&quot;

The annual IMG Challenger World  event, set in London&#039;s Docklands, sees over 13,000 participants swim, cycle and  run around a specially designed course that winds through some of London&#039;s most  famous landmarks such as Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the London Eye. Next year&#039;s  event will take place on 30th and 31st July. 
Commenting on the partnership, Virgin  Active&#039;s Chairman, Richard Baker said; &quot;Virgin Active is very proud to be  supporting the London Triathlon, given how well it fits with the core sports  replicated in our clubs. 
This is the world&#039;s largest event of  its type, and its reputation as the fastest growing Olympic sport allows us to  encourage a wide range of people of all fitness levels, from beginner to elite,  to get involved and try it for themselves. We are aiming to dispel the myth  that you have to be an elite athlete to participate and it&#039;s our aim to grow  the Triathlon sport through many of our club&#039;s fun offerings including a  national indoor Triathlon in 2011.&quot; 
In the lead up to the event, Virgin  Active will be launching a series of triathlon related fitness products and  will be helping its participating members to train and prepare. They will also  be offering a large quantity of highly sought after event places for members.  During 2011 indoor triathlons aimed at children and families will take place at  Virgin Active&#039;s 71 health clubs across the UK and its 122 clubs in South  Africa, Italy and Iberia.
Senior Vice-President of IMG Events  Julian Brand added; &quot;Every year this event grows in stature and we are  delighted to have Virgin Active Health Clubs on board as we continue this  journey.&amp;nbsp; 2011 will be the 15th year of the London Triathlon  and we have the ideal partner to help the many thousands of participants from  across the UK and internationally get ready for the world&#039;s largest triathlon.&quot;
Virgin Group founder Sir Richard  Branson added: &quot;The Virgin Active London Triathlon is set to be not only a  really fun event, but also a great way for people of all fitness levels to get  involved in sport and exercise. Virgin Active will of course be helping me and  their members, many of who have signed up alongside me, shape up for the big  day. I hope they don&#039;t show me up too much!
Following on from the marathon, it will be a chance for me to take on my  children - Holly and Sam - who I&#039;m sure will be keen as ever to beat their dad!  Not sure butterfly wings will work on a bicycle though - I&#039;ll have to get more  creative!&quot;
