Marc Evans is an experienced triathlon coach who’s with some of the greats including Dave Scott. He’s recently finished a book, “Triathletes in Motion” which goes into great detail about how to develop better movement patterns, core stability and posture for triathlon.
Traditionally, the focus of swimming and triathlon is volume, intensity, training periodisation and doing a particular work out the right months or weeks leading up to a race.
But, what if you could improve your performance without changing your training schedule and by simply improving how you move.
