Today was a 60 min R (recovery) ride and a lifting session. I hear many triathletes talking crap about weight lifting because "it will not make me fast" I call BS to that statement, true it may not raise my VO2 max, LT or lower 400 yard swim pace, but it will help me from getting injured over the course of a long season, which will raise the above mentioned. I also hear them say " I don't want to put on muscle because that will slow me down. Again BS, the vast majority of athletes do not know enough about the sheer volume of weights and the correct nutrition that is needed in order to put on weight from strength training. A reoccurring theme of this blog will be nutrition, only because I take my personal nutrition extremely serious, mostly because in the words of a famous hockey coach, Herb Brooks ," I do not have enough talent to win on talent alone"
This started about a year ago when I met Jesse, qt2systems.com He changed my outlook on Day to day and Race nutrition.
