Creative Workouts For Triathlon

Our coaching staff is continually thinking about ways to make training more effective and enjoyable, so Crushing Iron will now be adding creative workout ideas if you feel like breaking up the monotony.  We only have a couple now, but hope to add one or two a week for each discipline.  They can be found under the “Workouts” tab at the top and broken out by sport.  Here’s an example for the pool:
