He's saying the same thing I am. You have plenty of aerobic training going on. For fighting, the triathalon is wasting your time unless you use it to replace your 4-5 times doing roadwork. If you want to get an edge, do 800 meter sprints or 2-300 meter swiMming springs. Or wrestle for 3 minutes at a time. Take 60 second breaks and go all out for 2-3 minutes. That way your body is mimmicking what happens when you fight. Don't waste time with the triathalon unless it's a personal goal. Too much aerobic training eats away at your muscles and strength. Swimming doesn't create a fighters body but swim sprinting does.
im thinking about doing short triathlons like 1 mile swim 12 mile bike 3 mile run type triathlon.. im thinking it will help me with my boxing.. anyone else do this or know of any boxers who do this?
be careful not to get too slow. If you train slow you will become slow. Do not let it dominate your routine of training but I couldn't say do not do it at all as I'm sure there are other benefits but just weigh up your priorities. If you want to develop explosiveness, triathlons will not do this.
