Subject: RE: WOW! Am I glad I found you! Ron, Michael & Rick, thanks for your quick reply! I am pretty fired up about starting my training and have been scouring the internet for various programs. I am signed up for the Azeala Festival Tri in April which consists of a 300 yard swim (pool ) 20K Bike & 5K Run. I am comfortably running with my long runs consisting of 13-15 milers. I am looking forward to decreasing the distance, increasing my speed & adding the swimming and biking elements into it. Here is a question, though....what type of weight training do you recomend? I really enjoy hitting the weights, but have read I should go down to circuit training with light weights and high reps. Any opinions in this matter?
Also need to find myself a bike! (Yikes! ) Any advice here?
As far as training programs...I am looking at the 16 week Olympic swim focused program I found on this site. Should I start with a sprint program, or can I hit the Olympic right off the bat??? See??? Full of questions!! I hope you all know you have opened a can of words replying to me!! Hopefully I will be able to entertain ya a little along the way! :- ) |
