Ever since I was a senior in high school, I have done some sort of strength training. As a runner, the focus was primarily on maintaining my upper body strength, a little leg work and core work using the “traditional” exercises (such as bicep curls, hamstring extensions, sit ups…). Over the years it was basically the same stuff, until I started triathlon training.
The last few years doing triathlons, I have grown a little lazy with the strength work. I figured that I am strengthening my body with swimming (arms) and biking (legs). The only “strength” stuff I did on my own was core...
