          What would be a ideal off season training for middle distance runner?

          my track season is only month left and i have no idea what to do over the summer!

          So i was thinking about competing tri/duathlon.. Is this good idea?

          I think triathlon training would be a great idea. Especially if you stick to the sprint triathlon distances.

          Make sure you don’t overdo it though, it is meant to be off season.

          I believe coupling swimming with running is great for middle distance runners. Back in the day oregon used it with great success.

          Can you tell a little more about this. How long ago was it and what did they do?
