| RUNNERS FREQUENTLY CONFUSE
THE TERMS cross-training and triathlon training.
That's understandable. Cross-training and triathlon
training are different sides of the same multi-sport
coin. Cross-training is when your focus is on a single
sport (such as running), but use other sports (such as
swimming or biking) to prepare for it. Triathlon
training is where that triple-sport is your single
focus, so you train by swimming, biking and running.
What's the difference? The difference is focus. That's
going to dictate how seriously you train in the sports
activity outside your specialty. |

three days a week: a long day, a speed day and an easy
day (all running) with one day each swimming and
biking. He found this second schedule more appealing,
but worried how it might effect his triathlon
performance. (His busy schedule prevented him from
training more than five or six days a week.)continue... |
