Q&A #34 - Strength training on the bike, training changes during forced time off from swimming, and Sprint Interval Training

• How to use "strength training on the bike" (high power sprints and strength endurance/low cadence training)
• How to change your training when injury forces you to stay away from the pool
• Sprint interval training on the bike - should you do them in the TT position or sitting up?
