The 3 day rule

thumbGoing back to the topic of consistency with this short tip.  A good rule of thumb is to never let three days go by where you haven’t trained one of the three sports.  Being consistent in training as whole is great, but being consistent across swimming, biking, and running is also very important.  Keeping the 3 day rule in mind, even during a bike focus week, will help hold on to any gains you’ve made in the other two sports.  Haven’t been in the water in a couple days? Get to the pool! Bailed on that ride becuase there was black ice, and couldn’t commute to work for whatever reason? Hop on the trainer.

Sticking to the 3 day rule definitely help your performance over the long run.
