STRENGTH

The holidays are when people disappear. Between Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, it's the easiest time of year to step away from fitness. Terrier has always launched strength in November to give you a structure that carries you through the holidays instead of starting over after them. January is too late if you race in summer. By the end of January, your swim, bike and run work should be in full gear. Strength is the foundation that comes first. If it's your New Year's resolution, you're already behind. Our 12 week winter strength program, built to carry you through the holidays and into race season ready.
