5 Off-Season Rules – Triathlete.com

By Jené Shaw Published Nov 14, 2014 Updated Nov 14, 2014 at 12:26 PM UTC Table of Contents To prep your body for a better 2015 season, you need to play by the rules now. Welcome to the off-season!

1. Don’t run a marathon in January.
2. Focus on short, intense workouts.
3. Gain weight (on purpose).
4. Swim. A lot.
5. Hit the weights.
