For multi-sport athletes who try to balance family, work and triathlon training, finding time for a workout sometimes proves difficult; but fitting in even a short session can boost your fitness.
Want to be sure that you do your workout on a busy day? Keep it short and complete it first thing in the morning. This may mean waking up a bit earlier; but, waiting until later in the day just increases the risk that something more pressing will come up, pushing your workout lower on the priority list. Before you know it, the day will be gone and so will your opportunity to complete your workout.
