In Part I, we introduced you to the principle that performance fitness is in the muscles, not in the cardiovascular system.

We have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that once you finish this article, you are going to want to cancel that winter schedule of base building, aerobic mileage-oriented, zone 1-2 training. The good news is that by the time you finish reading, you’ll be ready to set up your best triathlon season yet!

I'm looking at IMSA 2009. I live in MN and I probably won't have any chance to do any rides outside this winter, especially the long ones. If I'm lucky I might get one ride in at the end of March, probably during taper time. Swimming should be ok but it will be boring inside the whole time. Running should be ok if we don't have a cold and snowy winter. TRImapper.com - visual triathlon finder TRIJUICE.com - triathlon news and resource site
