Training Schedule Needed for Rookie Triathalon!
I am training for my first mini-triathalon at the beginning of May. Its a 300 m swim, 11 mile bike, and 2 mile run. I completed my first 1/2 marathon last month (2 hrs, 20 mins) and have been running pretty steadily for almost a year. However I have not gotten on a bike or swam (other than chasing my kids in the pool) really in 4+ years. Any tips for how to get started? I really am a poor swimmer, biking I imagine I can pick up a bit easier. All of the searches I have found online are for sprint triathalons which are a bit farther than my rookie/mini tri. Any tips would be appreciated. I currently work out 4 days a week doing running/strength and cardio if that helps.
Re: Training Schedule Needed for Rookie Triathalon!
The training plans you are finding are suitable for the race distance you are talking about doing. However, you should take swim lessons so that you can get proper training in swim technique.
My bio has a lot of triathlon advice if you'd like to take a look at it.
Enjoy!
