It seems like there’s barely enough time to swim, bike, and run enough. So how much regular "strength training" should I be doing.
like the first answer, depends on how how strong you are and what your level is,,what is your weakest event? if cycling is your weakest, you may want to lift a bit to get stronger, weight training and strength trainng are important to avoid injury,,,probably most important "strength element" is your core,,,strong back and stomach to keep you in properfom on bike and run,,,speed training in all three events will make you stronger AND faster,,you dont want to be a hulk with big huge muscles, too much weight,,be lean and light
