To improve your HDL level and your overall cholesterol, you definitely want to avoid trans fats, which are commonly found in hard margarines, baked goods and fried fast foods. Conversely, you want to consume more healthy fats like those found in avocado, olive oil, nuts and salmon.
Super sprints, a newer sport sanctioned by the governing body USA Triathlon, is fast and short, as the name suggests. The distances come in at the lowest end of the short-distance triathlon and range from 0.2 to 0.25 miles in the water, 5 to 8 miles on the bike and 1 to 2 miles running.
Usually if two or three of the three triathlon sports is below sprint distance, you can call it a mini sprint. These two plans will train you for a triathlon with these distances: 1  400 yard swim | 8mile bike | 1.5 mile run.  400 meter swim | 13 kilometer bike | 2.4 kilometer run.
