Five Rules for Off-Season Training

http://triathlon.competitor.com/2014/11/training/the-new-off-season-rules_45467

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.

Kind of tough to argue with most of them.  I think I’ll take a pass on number 3, however.  Maybe if I ever feel like I’m down to my optimum “racing weight”, I’ll reconsider.
