Whens everyone starting, whats the plan? i.e. how long a break? then is it base training 8-10 hours a week till new year?
I wont post any training goals of my own other than say I want to get some good swim coaching and loose weight.
all - just think it makes more sense to have one home thread rather than people having to trawl through lots in case they miss useful stuff. so let's hang out here, if only because i cba to hunt for the right threads, and this way i can get into it via "my forum".
I agree its easy to lose info that people may need and just because the pirates are spreading the gospel in 3 different places doesnt mean we cant stay in one training thread!
a thread i can post on
good idea Ergo
Not started training again yet, will probably wait a few more weeks then start again properly in September.
Just spending some time thinking about what training I'm going to do.
It's on my ankle, but I'm now worried about when I get that old lady fat ankle hanging over the slippers thing, which will no doubt be very soon.
I'm going to start a bit of running next week as I'm meant to be doing the Glasgow half in 5 weeks. I'll do a couple of 30 mile cycles in the spanish hills before the vit, and that'll do me for now.
Just checking in to see where I have to start, and where this training journey is going to take me
Get a bike, ride around the countryside now stopping at a pub and increasing the distance a bit.
Run a bit, but slow slow slow. WTF I still did club tempo runs I do not know.
The single most important advice I can give if you are not a good swimmer is to get weeklyone to one lessons - ask at your local tri club. If you have your technique sorted by Christams you will be fine. I think the swim took about 10% of the time, but 90% of the emotion for me.
why don't we do a 'novices looking for a mentor' list on here, and then the ironmen can adopt you off the list. i think that's a better idea than everybody choosing rosey as their mentor! well actually i think that everybody choosing rosey as their mentor is a great idea, but he might disagree with me....
NOVICES LOOKING FOR A MENTOR

Start with real zeal now and you will definitely be sick of it "burned out" by the time race day comes IMHO. I'm having a month off after Vit to give brain, more than body, a rest.

Tri taffia, but can I shout for pebble?

rest days are just that - no doing anything - not even a gentle swim.........the body needs to recover
but this only applies after the New Year - if you are training 5/6 days a week between now and Xmas then I doublt you'll make the start line as you will burn out......
