Marc Evans recently finished his book “Triathletes in Motion”. In his book, he’s covered having better movement patterns and better stability through your hips and core and improving your posture. Traditionally, the focus of swimming and triathlon is volume, intensity, training periodization and doing a particular work out the right months or weeks leading up to a race. But, what if you could improve your performance without logging the extra distance in the water or on the road? That’s what we’ll cover in this episode!
