Its official, this Sunday my training schedule begins! I am happy to be getting back on track but like I have said before, nervous about sticking to a schedule. Fitting in the proper training to my already overwhelming schedule is going to take a serious amount of discipline. But I welcome the challenge and look foward to reaping the rewards.
I am following the Beginner Triathlete program for a Run-Focused Olympic Distance Tri. I tweaked it (very) slightly in order to fit in my work/school/coaching schedule but overall the distances and times equal out. I dont have any set plans to do an Olympic Distance this year (except maybe a relay) but its not out of the question either. I figured that if I did decide to do one, I would at least be prepared. At the very least it will help me prepare for the 2010 season in which I will definitely be doing Olympic distance and also when I plan on doing my first half-ironman. I chose the run focused program because of all the road racing I do outside of trithlon. With my first 1/2 marathon and full marathon both taking place this year, I felt this program would be most beneficial.
Stay tuned………
