Summary
How do we REALLY feel about weight lifting? Find out today, and how we think it combines with endurance sports. We also talk seasonal depression and ask if it's more prevelant these days. We look at ways to beat it. Plus, how long should you be in triathlon before deciding to tackle an Ironman? Couple different perspectives. Why are swim breaks so short? When should the be longer? Also, is it better to swim 2x200 or 1x4,000? We'll look into swim training intention, different speeds in the water and building control. We also look at what might be some interesting locations for a new Ironman race.
