Best back stretches for triathletes
  As triathletes, the volume of training that you put your body through is intense, and it’s common to get aches and pains associated with a long period of repetitive exercise.

Will I still get a benefit if I do my bike training with someone slower than me?
  In short, the answer is yes, you will still benefit from doing some of your bike training with someone slower than you.

If you have the budget, getting a full professional fit before you venture...
