Subject: RE: Keeping yourself out of the gym Hey Roach, I feel your pain. I'm 33yrs old & in the same boat as you. The difference for me is that my schedule is pretty flexible ( I'm a firefighter, so I work about 10 days a month ) & my gym has daycare. So I have the kids covered. I have been into the natural bodybuilding aspect of lifting weights for about 10 years now. I see no problem in hitting the gym twice a day. I'm easing my way into the distance running aspect of triathlons. It's going to be very hard for me to sacrifice my lifting for sprint triathlon training, because it's now a part of my daily routine. But I plan on hitting the weights in the a.m. & then getting my bike, or swim, or run workout in the p.m. I'll probably start doing more circuit training, for my lifting sessions, after the first of the year. That's when I plan on really dialing myself in for my first sprint tri. I figure if an 80 year old nun can complete a full Ironman........FIVE + TIMES, then I sure as crap can build this 33yr old body up to doing a 1/2 ironman...at the very least |
