I am planning on another sprint tri 2016.
Cycling.... No Problem
Running, well its only 5k my knees and flat feet can take it - just.
Swimming, I'm probably not build for swimming. I struggle to gain and maintain upperbody strength... The last sprint tri i did the first time i had managed the 16 lengths was the same week as the tri having only learned to swim on my front about 4 months earlier. SWMBO is a qualified swim instructor and is working on my technique.
Anyway the point is, getting to the pool at time that the full 25m is open is hard work for me with work commitments. But we do have a gym at work. can anyone recommend some gym exercises that will help build/maintain my swim muscles/fitness?
