Today we talk about what it truly means to "want to get better" in triathlon. We look at how Age Groupers can benefit by taking the same training approach as the pros. We take a deep look at running for triathlon, including what speed really means and why less is often more in race season. Are you over-complicating training to distract yourself from the mission you truly want to accomplish?
