How to train for a triathlon by Tine_project

"It' more fun than I thought!"

How I did it: I decided to be more sportive and started running. But my knees ached and I wasn't motivated to hurt me 3 times a week. So I needed a alternative-> one of my good friends is a successful triathlete and absolutely enthuiastic about his sport, so I gave it a try.
I was/am too slow for my university's training group and had to start by myself. With a complete trainings plan out of a book that was easy to do- and my boyfriend supported me and went swimming with me.

Lessons & tips: I always work out with a pulse watch andy try to train with friends :-)

    bassetanna has work to do, but no motivation

    Post-surgical goal 1 month ago

    I did a sprint triathlon June 2009. It was awful.

    I had ankle surgery August 2009 (due to an old injury not triathlon related). Once it heals I want to get back into shape, and maybe do another sprint triathlon next summer with my sister.

    Well, the first one went good on saturday. Maybe I didn’t get my goal time of under two hour, but it went well. I was within a minute of cixelsyd time-wise so, that’s a good thing.

    Been training this week. Well, two days so far this week, I would’ve yesterday, but time with the birthday celebration did not allow. So, I just got to keep this up.

    lyeshea is resting for her tri tomorrow

    Something I always wanted to do... 17 months ago

    I always wanted to do a triathlon, but never knew how to get into one. I did a little short one last summer, and now my first real one—which is still a tri-for-fun tri is next saturday.

    Been training kind of half-a$$ed…. so, got to get into the groove.

    Triathlon training 20 months ago

    OK, all my exams are over; it’s the break;and now it’s time to get training. I’ve made myself a little plan, and over the next 6 months I’m gonna swim, bike and run myself silly.

    Sounds good. Alright, I’m ready to go.

    Triathlon 20 months ago

    I’ve been finding this a challenge actually.

    One thing i’ve learnt for triathlon training is that you can’t really max out for every training session.

    Still trying to figure out a proper way for training.It seems that my body can’t take the aftermath of training so hard.I need to get my veins popping too!!

    Start moving 3 years ago

    So, I am very out of shape. I am at least 25 lbs over weight. I haven’t really exercised in a very long time. So this week I signed up for a tennis class (2dy/week) and a swim class (2dy/week). I figure that this will get me moving and on a schedule.
