Strength training for triathletes (and favorite moments) with Erin Carson, CSCS

To continue our theme of giving you coaching advice for your own racing, we sit down with renowned strength and mobility coach Erin Carson to to talk about how strength training and mobility should support your triathlon performance.

And first she helps us dissect the news around heat race cancellations, why she loved being on the ground at Ironman Texas, and her predictions for Challenge Roth.

Erin shares:

How she got started working with endurance athletes,
The importance of sports-specific strength training and mobility
Why you should periodize your strength work, too, and how to balance it with the rest of your training
Practical exercises for triathletes: deadlifts, goblet squats, and upper back mobility drills
The most common mobility and strength issues triathletes deal with — and how everything can get locked up from all that biking
