Newbie in Cleveland

James when I started I weighed a few pounds more than you do. I fell in love with the sport and dropped 60# in a year. Because I needed to get the weight off I didn't follow any training plan. Instead I focused on doing what I really liked to do until I got into the habit of exercising. I did very little running and a lot of riding. Just go out there and focus on getting better each day.

I would not shy away from doing a sprint if you feel you can finish. Don't worry about how fast, just have fun and make the goal to finish.

Let us know how it's going for you.

Thanks for the reply . Im going to give the couch to sprint a try its a 12 week program and starts out light . I am going to officialy start it next monday but started swimming a few weeks ago and have been running . I just need to finally stick to a plan .

If that's what you need then that is precisely what you should do.

Check in on BT often. Read any post that seems even slightly related to something you want to learn about. There is nothing that someone else can't provide good input on for you. If you have a question, just ask.

Good luck and let us know how you are progressing.
