Expert 1028 Detroit, MI. Kinda. | Subject: Endurance only training can break you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JANhIevk-Ow "In 1985, Chris Hinshaw finished the Ironman in second place, and at the peak of his career, he was one of the best triathletes in the world. But years of endurance training left him brittle and barely functional. Today, at 50 years old, Hinshaw runs a 4:58 mile. “The only thing that I’m doing differently is adding CrossFit. That’s it,” he says. “I’m not only functional, I can do things that I could never have imagined myself doing even back when I was a triathlete, back when I was one of the best in the world at it.”" I'm not suggesting that Crossfit is the only way, but I can tell you that after a year of just endurance training for IMAZ, I felt weak, old, and frail. Contrast to my feeling superhuman before I began...I'm a big proponent of cross training with weights to stay healthy and injury free. |

Sounds like a veiled attempt at advertising...I think we would all agree that some strength training is beneficial for triathletes, especially as we age. I think most will bristle when it is alleged that crossfit is the better way to train for SBR. Okay, here we go... |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Endurance only training can break you I actually see my triathlon training as cross training. Before, I was just running. Now, I've added cycling and swimming. Much better. Would be good to add some strength in, I suppose. Really just don't want to take time from the other three (actually three plus - I throw spin in there and do lots of other types of activities, especially in the "off" season - like hiking/canoeing/kayaking while hunting and such). Balance, Grasshopper. I'm in much better shape and condition now that I tri than when I "just" ran. Not really disagreeing, just saying there are many paths to being "fit." Do whatever works for you.

I think most will bristle when it is alleged that crossfit is the better way to train for SBR. Okay, here we go... I'll bite too. Functional strength training (read: not crossfit) is somewhat necessary for athletes, and the need generally increases with age. The older athletes that I coach are doing strength training at least 2x weekly - but it is things like planks, lunges, squats, and a few specific exercises to address specific imbalances/weaknesses. Not deadlifts, pull-ups, box-jumps and snatches... I do strength training - I mostly address my core because I believe it helps my form in all three disciplines of tri - and I do a short, targeted routine to address the specific causes of my IT band issue. |

I do prefer to provide them with comprehensive routines that can be done at home without any additional equipment. Ben, you know I agree with you on many of the principles regarding the application of strength training for triathletes, but I don't prescribe any of those exercises to triathletes either. Not necessarily because they're not effective, but because they're more technical, and I'm not there to monitor their technique. Prescribing simpler exercises that may not have the same benefits, but are less technical in nature is my preference if I'm not there to teach proper technique.
