Episode notes
This is the ultimate guide to strength training for triathletes. I explain the why, how, when and any other questions you can think of related to strength training for triathletes. One thing is clear - strength training, when done right, has massive benefits for triathletes. This guide will teach you how to get it right. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
- Triathlon, running, and cycling performance benefits from strength training
- What type of strength training to do - heavy-weight, low-weight, explosive, or plyometrics?
- What order to do strength and endurance training in
- An example strength training program (the Mikael Eriksson Formula)
- How to plan you're training so you don't get interference effects between strength training and endurance training
