Why every triathlete should be doing strength training with Exercise Physiologist Huw Darnell

Why every triathlete should be doing strength training with Exercise Physiologist Huw Darnell

I’m a big advocate for triathletes implementing strength into their training program, but not many do it!

Maybe it’s because you’re worried about getting too sore, or putting on too much muscle mass and affecting your power to weight ratio, you have zero time, or maybe it’s because you have no idea what you should be doing!

As an Advanced Sports Dietitian, this is not my area of expertise. So joining me on the podcast is Exercise Physiologist, Huw Darnell, who specialises in strength and rehabilitation for triathletes.

He has worked with many triathletes of all levels, from age-groupers to the elite. He does this through his online program, The Tristrong Performance Program which is the perfect way to get some qualified, evidence-based help in implementing some strength training into your program.

Huw is all about building bulletproof bodies that are injury resilient with greater capacity. Exactly what you need to be strong and injury-free heading into race season!
