Subject: RE: One Day per Week Training???? I agree with Scout7. Pick one sport and do as much as you can. I am also in the same boat as you. I am only run training right now. I very occasionally get in a bike and less often a swim (this past week has been an exception ). I believe if you do enough running, your cardiovascular system will be sufficiently "fit" to get you through a sprint tri. The same could be said for riding but it tends to take up a lot more time. I raced a sprint the weekend before last with probably only 2 road rides and 1 swim since last August, but perhaps 5 days a week of running. My time was understandably 11 minutes slower than the last time I raced that race but I lost most of that time on the run. My bike splits were almost identical. And the bike splits were not slow. My very first sprint was done with absolutely no bike training but I was running at my peak then. I borrowed a bike for that race. So, yes you can do a sprint on limited training but I would concentrate on one sport and I would consider trying to do up to 5 sessions a week rather than 3. |
