It does not count as training unless you get the HR elevated or work specifically on technique - some chancer on the real training thread is trying to pass dog walking as triathlon training! If that's the case my Mother is in full time training as she walks the dog every day!
I also scull, 2-3 times per week as I still race in the boat (until February)

What other training do you do other that Swim, Bike & Run.... to improve your triathlon performance...
ie Yoga... Fellwalking... etc etc.... really anything...
For me its fast distance walking dose wonders for my running....
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]
Circuit training, spinning.
Spinervals - Flexible Warrior 1.0 ( Athletic Yoga for Triathletes)
Spinervals - Ultra Core conditioning 2.0 ( Ultra Core Strength Builder)
All top stuff IMO
What functional strength training do you do?
I like the sound of that.... will have to try some sipervals....

Upper body I tend to focus on the big muscle groups of the lats & chest but still include the smaller swim specific muscles of the shoulder etc. I like to incorporate core work with most exercises so I’ll often perform chest presses/lat pullovers in a bridge position on a stability ball or do my shoulder stability work stood on BOSU and use stretch bands. Every couple of weeks in the off season I’ll throw in some total body moves like a body squat into a bicep curl into a shoulder press, not forgetting of course the traditional cleans, power lifts etc.
hi there,
I do a mix also
Wide chins, dips, biceps chins, press up, sit up circuit at the gym just go for between 10-15 reps and 4 times round. also try to fit in some boxing once a week, great work out so hard!!
It's 2 miles from my house to the gym so I jog there and do interval sprints using lamp posts on my way home, I time the trip home and go for a PB.
I surf roughly twice a week over a year average and enjoy mountain biking in the summer.
Also tried fell running and looking to pursue it further.
Aqua training at my local pool every sunday, a group of local athletes go head to head on various aquatic and pool side based races and challenges! loads of fun and probably the hardest session of the week in the off season!
cheers
