Your body has learned different ways to get air because of your swimming and cycling. Your fast twitch and slow twitch muscles have had extra exercise so the ones you don't touch during running only will not be able to be accessed when the going gets tough.<br /><br />There is so much more that you can do now thanks to your triathlon training.<br /><br />2 More SleepsJasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.com
