Hello everyone... the weather is getting better here and it seems like
it's time to start getting on the bike and swimming in the lakes. In
the last few months I've been doing mostly weight training and a bit
of running, but not so much due to some nagging injuries. I did the
occasional swim.
So now I am off running, doing hill walking instead. I was thinking
of participating in my first triathlon this summer, so that leaves me
a lot of time to prepare (If I'm not in a good enough shape to run,
I'll walk, damn it).
I guess I don't really want to stop my weigh training or reduce it
substantially, but if I am training hard then I'll be my targeted
muscle groups will probably be sore for 1-2 days after each workout.
Thus, if I am doing my usual 3 or 4-day split and really pushing it I
won't be able to do any swimming for most of the week. (Actually I
could swim, but like a crippled man). And I'll barely be able to do
one session of bike and one of run if I am not doing them back-to-
back. So I was thinking of having weeks were I am only one bike/walk/
swim per week and relatively easy at that, but hard weight training
sessions, and weeks were I am doing 1-2 tri sessions, one of each
hard, and easy weight training sessions.
Is anybody using this type of program?
