The Strength Training Plan That Keeps Triathletes Over 50 Injury Free

Most triathletes know they should do strength training. Most don't do it consistently. And most eventually pay for that with an injury that costs them weeks or months of training. Strength training won't make you a faster swimmer or a better cyclist directly. If you want sport specific strength, swim with paddles, run uphill, ride into a headwind. What strength training does is make you more durable. It means you can turn up more often, absorb more training, and stay injury free through a hard build. In this video I walk through the five building blocks of a strength programme that works for triathletes over 50, finishing with the six primal movements that give you the most return for your time investment. What we cover: 00:58 - ROM: why movement quality comes before load 02:00 - Connective tissue: the slow adapting structures that get injured when you rush 03:08 - Stability: why joint stability matters over thousands of repetitions 04:40 - Core: the one thing you can't afford to neglect 06:08 - Movements not muscles: the six primal patterns that build genuine durability If you're in the middle of your Ironman build and want to know whether you're actually on track, download the free Ironman Sanity Checklist below.
