A Navy Seals program modified specifically for triathletes. Heavy on the running, swimming, push/pull-ups and sit-ups, will you find yourself man (or woman) enough to finish?

Who’s the greatest multisport athlete ever? Dave Scott? Tim DeBoom? Mark Allen? Peter Reid? It’s hard to say. The only thing I can say for sure is that it’s definitely not me.

If I did have to take a guess though . . . I would say the greatest multisport athlete isn’t an individual, but a group. Specifically, the U.S. Navy SEALs. SEALs routinely swim 2-3 miles in rough, freezing water. SEALs run (not at a leisurely pace either) mile after mile in boots and fatigues across thick, wet sand – usually lugging heavy packs of equipment and weaponry with them.

I’m not a member of the Navy SEALs. Nor would I ever want to endure the infamous Hell Week where trainees undergo such schooling as Drown Proofing and Surf Torture (I’m not making those terms up, by the way). However, we as triathletes can borrow from the Navy SEALs training methods not merely to finish, but to excel at triathlon. [.....]
