Subject: RE: Training plan explained Train On, Enjoy the Journey and Welcome to the Forums! I would recommend signing up for a race to give you focus and purpose to your training. I started out running before I got into Triathlons. I was overweight and started a 12 week walking program. To keep myself motivated I signed up for a local 5k. It was my first one (4/14') and I had to run/walk the course and I loved coming under the finish chute and seeing the timing clock counting down as I sprinted my big azz past the finish line, even if it did say 48 minutes! I have been racing continuously since then with 2 full marathons and a olympic triathlon under my belt. My fastest 5k is 25 minutes! |
