Subject: RE: HI - New to the group - Advice on a good training routine Welcome Matt! I am looking for advice on a good 12 week beginning TRI training routine for Sprint Tri - I have looked at the training routines on this site - just wondering if anyone has a perferred plan that has worked well. I think all of the training plans on this site are excellent. I do prefer the silver/gold training plans, because instead of training plans laid out in minutes, they actually give more specific training guidelines, i.e., swim intervals, heart rate goals, speed targets, etc. Is it possible and not too crazy to train for a tri's and also training for 1/2 marathons at the same time?? Absolutely! I am currently training for a sprint tri, marathon, and eventually an oly distance at the end of the summer. Go take a look at my blog page (however, ignore today's blog ). What I've done is take a beginner sprint tri schedule (RPE) deleted all the running workouts, and replaced them with my marathon training plan (FIRST system, which encourages cross-training as part of the training plan...works out perfectly). I have links to the FIRST plan on the left hand side of the blog page. Good luck Matt. Feel free to send a message if you have questions... |
