According to Black, the final leg of this three prong attack upon the winter laziness: the run; works any neglected body parts remaining: "The run works the hamstrings; really toning the lower legs." The Michelob ULTRA London Triathlon not only gives one an exhilarating endpoint but, as Black explains: "The whole experience of Triathlon training gives the body a scrupulous workout, comprehensively improving strength, stamina and endurance."

So, why triathlon?
Bill Black, ex Olympic coach for Team GB, looks ahead to a fresh new year, certain that triathlon is the best option for building optimum fitness in 2007:

"Triathlon requires a training regime which is always fresh and challenging." Black, an expert in the training required for each discipline, explains why triathlon provides such a total-body work out: "Swimming is an approachable discipline, and so a great starting point to any training schedule. It builds incredible flexibility and in terms of the body, this gives arms, chests and shoulders great tone and strength."

Black advises aspiring triathletes to begin gently; starting January in the pool; moving outside into open water as confidence builds (and the weather warms up!) around late April.

In the name of time efficiency, Black suggests that if a little swimming provides a perfect lunchtime date; cycling to and from work is an economical way to fit the biking training into a busy schedule: "This is a great cardio-vascular activity to begin and end each day with adrenaline. Cycling is also a great work out for the legs; particularly those hard to tone thighs."
