Subject: Minimum maintenance workout plan My wife is due to give birth in a few days, and, with it, my triathlon season will effectively end. I already have a busy job, and two kids, so I'll probably be hanging it up for a while to focus on other things. That said, I don't want to lose whatever I've gained since picking up the sport last fall. What is the minimum work-out plan that one should follow just to avoid a much fitness loss as possible? I get it, some fitness loss inevitable, but I'd love to keep some semblance of it. And I'm hardly an elite athlete; really just a MOB/BOB'er just getting towards year one in this adventure. So, maybe I don't have lots to lose! But, what's reasonable? Can I get away with one run/bike/swim per week? Any less? Should I do more? And what kind of workouts should those be? Short high intensity stuff, or keep long stuff in too? Thanks! |
