Subject: Newbie looking for training schedule advice Good evening, I am a 42 year old male, newbie in Las Vegas. A friend of mine competes in tris and got me interested. I have an athletic background but have not done any real training for the last few years. I am trying to figure out how to plan my initial workout regimin. The last real race of the season here in Vegas is less than 8 weeks away so I don't think I can make that one. I assume the 2011 races will be part way into the year. When I look at the basic training plans none seem to work time wise. Should I just do a basic 12 week program and then graduate into a higher level program to prepare for my first sprint next year? I am not sure what the best course of action is. I want to start training right away but I also know I should plan to complete one of the training programs just before my first race. I am looking forward to any advice you guys can offer. Thanks! Bill |
