Missed workouts now have a much greater impact on race performance than at any other time of the year. You must stay healthy and injury-free by whatever means possible.

The course for the 70.3 race is slightly different than the famed Ironman course but still features the burning Hawaiian sun and the all too familiar lava fields. The swim however will keep the competitors side tracked. Filled with marine life the bay will provide a stunning backdrop to a race that should get more pros attending.

Swimmers Stretching Before Your Swimming Workout

How many times have you seen swimmers stretching before they get in the pool? I can't count that high! Should all this stretching be taking place?

We have been told that flexibility is important for increased performance ability and to decrease the occurrence of injury. Is it? It may be more important to stretch at the right time - or it might be a waste of time.

While you should never base all your decisions on one report, a series of… Continue
