triathlete training

I've not found a regular triathlete training regime. My swim training has a focus on longer distances but with some faster sets thrown in to keep the pace up. Did a couple of runs at the beach, with bare feet. What a joy run like that. I need to find a regular time to run. Cycling has been the let down, nil miles in the saddle. The knee was playing up but now it seem fine again, the bike needs to be ridden.

turning into a triathlete

It's not an uncommon transition to see an 'ageing' swimmer evolve to become a triathlete. Swimming will always be my favorite sport but adding running and cycling should bring additional fun. I find my hill walking legs turning into running legs when out in the hills, I'll just need to find a regular pattern to ensure I do run. Cycling is my biggest stumbling block, a knee injury does not like the bike but I have plans in place to address that. 2010 is the year to emerge as a triathlete.

There is so much new stuff to learn, training to where the competitions are, new friends to find etc. That why I am enjoying using mepath.com (NB. I am the founder) to gain an insight into the lifestyle, training to food to events to injuries that are being authored by others that share a triathlete lifestyle, beginner to Olympian.
