Here is my current training regimen for a Sprint Triathlon:

Run--2x week--10mi total
Swim--2x week--2000m total
Bike--1x week--20mi total

Question: How many days and what kind of workouts and to what I extent would I incorporate lifting weights, etc into a 5 days/ week training schedule???

Thanks for any and all help!

Shaun

I would add more swim, bike, run to that schedule and not worry about strength training.

That said, there is a strength training forum on this Web site...you might be better served posting this question in there.

Good luck !

He'd do better if he defined his strength training goals first. The question is too general to come up with truly effective advice. Is it increased speed in a swim, run, or bike? Is it just more mass to look a little bigger? Is it to fight off dogs on his practice route?

Goals first, plan second.
