OK so I am new to this whole multi dicipline thing, and was wondering how much strength training I should try to fit into this crazy Tri training. I used to only strength train and did just a little (as possible) running to burn fat.
Now I am trying to keep up wth the amount of cals I need to burn for workouts, but am I losing lots of strength in the areas not related to the swim/bike/run? In the end does it really matter if I am trying to stay as light as possible for efficiency reasons? I am a pretty big guy (6'2" and about 190 today). I just wonder if I am going to start losing the muscle I have built over the years.
