Show Notes
Solid questions from our listeners today. We get into how to handle this off season with regard to strength, durability, and what is "triathlon specific" training. We look at cross training, load balance, and how to get better at "going to the well" so you understand it and build confidence. Is it more important to work on your core, or upper, or lower body with supplementary work? Finding the best running shoe for you. And, is swimming and cycling more ultimately the simplest solution to better long course racing?
