This routine is designed to address notorious weak areas of a triathlete’s body, specifically the rotator cuff , gluteus medius, lateral movement and core. If desired, it can be used as a stand-alone workout in a pre-existing weight training program. You can also take any of the Main Sets (1, 2 or 3) in this workout and do them as an isolated workout. Warm-Up: Complete 3–5 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as jogging, cycling or elliptical trainer, then complete the following exercises. Main Set 1: Complete the following rotator cuff exercises as a circuit, 3-4x through, with 30-60 sec rest after each time through, before proceeding to the next Main Set. Main Set 2: Complete the following gluteus medius and lateral exercises as a circuit, 3-4x through, with 30-60 sec rest after each time through, before proceeding to the next Main Set. Main Set 3: Complete the following core exercises as a circuit, 3–4x through, with 30–60 sec rest after each time through, before proceeding to the next Main Set. Cool-down: Hold each of the following stretches for 6–20 seconds, and go 3x through. If heart rate is high or breathing is difficult, complete 3–5 minutes of light aerobic activity prior to the stretches.

20-25 minute aerobic run in Zones 2-3.

Strides get you out of the rut of always running slowly (plodding), without adding undue biomechanical stress or inducing too much fatigue.
