Train to Tri

02-02-2010 7:59pm#1Well this is my log where I want to keep track of my attempt to whip my unfit body into shape.
I am 30 years old and have decided that this year I will get my long lost fitness back and train to (hopefully) complete a Triathlon.
When I say I am unfit, I mean seriously. I am also asthmatic which adds to the problem. Before xmas I started the C25k and was plodding along before falling down some stairs and putting it all on hold! But I am now back to health and back to training.
Swimming and cycling are the easy parts, I am quite good at both though I do need to obviously work on speed and endurance. Running is my big downfall....who would of thought bputting one foot in front of the other could be so difficult :rolleyes: so I am concentrating on that for now.
I am proudly up to half mile jog intervals though which is fab for me considering I couldn't even run for 30 seconds when I started!!
I want to start this log to keep track of it all and see how I progress!

Tuesday
I am so pleased with todays workout. I cannot believe that a few months ago I was barely able to do a fast walk without my lung bursting and my body screaming at me to stop. Yet today, although working hard, I felt confident and like I could accomplish anything.
My training for today was a warm up walk followed by walk/jog intervals.
Warm Up: 5 mins 436m Average Pace: 11.30
Jog Int 1: 5.06 804m Average Pace: 6.21
Walk int: 4.13 404m Average Pace: 10.31
Jog Int 2: 5.01 804m AveragePace: 6.14....the quickest half mile I have ever done!!!
Walk int: 4.35 404m Average Pace: 11.24
Jog Int 3: 5.40 804m Average PAce: 7.03
Total: 3.7km 29mins 37
My next training run is a longer jog interval and I am hoping I can keep it up without stopping. I am just so happy with how far I have come.0 -

Best of luck. Slowly into it. Keep intense work at a mininum early in training.
