I plan to get my first feel for triathlons this year (mainly sprints and finishing the season with a n Oly or two...
My base...i will say that i dont have one although my cycling and running will be far better then most with no base...but my swim is another story...as it seems for most entering the tri world!
Training program...on another site i have a training program laid out for myself and im hoping that maybe a few people could add their input...The swim program last 22 weeks while the bike/run program last 20 week. Every for weeks is lighter week.
Swim the program shows 3 days per week (starting at 100m and finishing 22 weeks later at 900m)...my personal opinion is that 100m isn't much, i know that i can do that easily, im thinking about doubling everything. What do you think? I also understand that for the swim its more in the motion rather then simply getting it done being that its the first event i need to swim properly in order to reserve as much energy as possible.
Bike and Run Program can either be a 2 or 3 day per week program. For each the 2x and 3x per week the run starts at 17 minute duration and finished at 1 hr 17 mins. How does this look?
I also know that i should prolly do some sort of strength training and core workouts but not sure what?
I also know that nutrition is a huge part and although i dont feel im a terrible eater i dont worry much about what i am eating, when i am eating, and how much i am eating...nutrition advise is most likely another aspect i am look for help in as well!
Thanks! I'm sure much more help is going to be needed but this seems like a good start!
