I have been in and out of a number of forums related to endurance sports (Cycling, Running triathlon) and have noticed that there are any number of opinions on Strength training and Endurance sports. I have also noticed that there are always numerous of recommendations of what should be done (often without much agreement), so my questions to all of you are: James Greenwood - Sport Scientist, MultiSport Coach http://www.mypypeline.com/-triathlon

Sorry this is a tad off topic, but thought I would ask this question at a higher level. As of about two weeks ago I find myself in a position where I have no strings tying me down. My company just offered a few of us a healthy severance to not tag along when they move out of town and downsize next month... I was quick to take it. Jeff
