Goals....

[Ogedei]

So....

Goals are important to what we do.

I lack these goals right now. I eat decently and workout ok, but not great. I do it because it supports my life and I have some body goals but nothing concrete.

So why am I posting this here?

I am strongly considering this event in May. It will give me a goal to work towards.

Running is most likely my weakest link.

So in support of this goal, does anyone have an excellent training routine for a beginner guy? I have seen www.beginnertriathlete.com, is there anyother good sites?

Thanks everyone!

OG - Congrats on giving this a go. I think you'll really enjoy it, I know you've gotten into cycling recently.

BT has some good beginner routines on there. There is a site called www.insidetri.com that is pretty helpful as well, but I've have my best luck on BT.

Good luck, keep us up to date!!

Well I bought a bike. I only managed to put on about 200kms this last year, but it was a good investment either way. Once I have a trainer which I will buy this month or early january, It should be cool.

Then all I have to do is squish serious training into my schedule, pool weight and running wise.

I guess I'll need to go buy running shoes as well.

How important do you feel a heart rate monitor is to training for one of these?

Thanks
