As a triathlon coach and part time personal trainer (I was full time before starting a different career), I have seen an endurance discipline become more and more neglected. Strength Training. Triathletes and runners, especially those that are time crunched will choose miles over weights even though these sessions will provide training benefits to speed and strength over long durations. A runner can be super fast, but without the strength to sustain speed over hills and long duration, the runner will not be able to sustain speed for the race. So I wanted to shed some light onto some basic exercises to do that I find beneficial. Keep in mind these exercises are basic, and should be progressed properly. Form must be stressed as well!
