  1. Hello,
    I am not sure what my motivation is to do tris, i am 26 and probably
    too old to go pro.
    What is a good training schedule?
    Current
    ride 15-20 kms/day 5 a week
    run 7 ks /day 3 a week
    swim 1.5ks 2 or 3 times a week
    weights/pushups/situps 2 times a week 1.5 hour (sessions).
    Surf 2 hours per week
    1 long run 10 ks on a Sunday.

    And what is a good lead up to an event training schedule?
    Current
    ride 15 kms/day for the week
    run 6 ks /day 3 a week
    swim 1.5ks 2 times a week
    weights/pushups/situps 1 maybe 2 times a week.
    event on the Sunday.

    Can anyone give me some tips. I am guessing i am not running enough to
    start.
    Also after improvement what is best, go further, go faster in training,
    go longer? Is there a rule to balance this?
    Also foods, i eat lots.
    I eat muslie, milk, coffee, salad, meat, pasta, vegetables, fruit,
    rice. And protein shakes. Anything else needed here?

  2. What length of tri are you wanting to start out at?
    beginnertriathlete.com is an excellent resource and has some free and
    paid training plans. If you are just starting out I would say that
    your schedule looks like you are taking on too much too fast. Do you
    have recovery days scheduled in?

  3. no i am not starting out.
    I have been doing 750m 20k 5k tris
    I have done 7 all up, and 1 marathon.
    I would have thought people would say i am not doing enough training??
    I dont feel spent but wounder how much i should do, escesially between
    races and in the week before, and the more i do the more i need to eat.
    Usually Saturdays i rest. And a weights days is a rest on the legs,
    because i only work the upper chest, abs and arms.

    I'd recommend reading Joel Friel's "The Triathlete's Training Bible" and
    also http://trinewbies.com/tno_training_programs3.asp

    You're doing plenty of hours of training, but Friel's book would help
    you make the most of that time.
