One of the biggest things I attribute to my rapid weight loss over the last year has been my strength training routine. As I have become more educated about endurance sports I realized that I need to reevaluate my strength training program. Once I made the commitment to a season of triathlons I did not anticipate how this would alter my strength training program.

While I don’t think I have made any blunders in my training and clearly I would not have advanced to the point I am at now without. Now is the time to reevaluate. I should no longer look at my strength training from a body building perspective. I need to consider a focus on core exercises and stretching.

I need to do more research on the subject of strength training for a triathlete. I look forward to sharing information with you but would appreciate your comments.

How do you incorporate strength training into your weekly routine?
