New user 58 | Subject: RE: What Sport Would You Train 4x Per Week Training your weakness is a good thing but I have read comments, studies, coaches etc say that the bike portion of the Triathlon defines a lot of the overall performance of a race. You are on the bike the longest... most of the races anyway. If you are strong off the bike, your run will go a lot better etc. I would train the ride before I jumped my run training up significantly more (and trust me my run is where it is needed). But now that I have a decent swim and a strong bike I can focus on the run. |

Elite 5316 Alturas, California | Subject: RE: What Sport Would You Train 4x Per Week I am marathon training, so run is the one for me. Otherwise it would be bike training, because it is such a huge part of IM and because it is the area I should be able to make up the most time in. However, since I am training for a marathon, run it is. |

Champion 5781 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: What Sport Would You Train 4x Per Week Train your weakness. I could train the run four times a week...since I race at all distances from one mile to marathon...but I don't need to. (I PR'ed my last marathon by 13 minutes on 3 days a week running.) Cycling is my limiter...I don't have the history with it that I do with running and swimming and I don't like the hours it requires for improvement...so that's the one I do four times a week, even during marathon training. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: What Sport Would You Train 4x Per Week I like to bike the most. Thank goodness that's my weakness. I really am thankfull that I'm a strong swimmer because the least amount of time in the pool I can manage the better. |
