am I crazy? I started training for tri’s last March. I was a novice. I did a my first ever tri event last Sept. I did it while hurt, but didn’t do too bad as a 41 year old, finishing the SC half IM in 5:17. I took a couple months off to recuperate. Now I have my sites set on my 2nd tri event, a full IM in Nov. I want to make sure I’m properly prepared and don’t get hurt this go around.
Coaching is so damn expensive, so I’m using Matt Fitzgerald’s tri manual, and using level 7 for IM. How in the world does one figure out if a ‘planned training program’ is too much or too little w/o paying 150.00 bucks a month for feedback from a coach??? Especially in these economic tough times. Thanks sir.
p.s. I love your video clips. Keep up the great work!!
In the off season I seem to hear a lot about training your weakest discipline to improve the best. However, how does someone that is new to triathlon or fairly balanced figure out what there weakest discipline is? Training your weakness is the fastest way to improve, but if you don’t have a glaring weakness, how can you determine what you need to work on the most. Thanks!
Can you recommend the best biking attire to wea in the rain starting from footwear up to head wear & everything in between? I did Bike NY this past weekend & it poured the entire 42 miles with low 50 degreee weather. Needless to say, by the end of the ride we were soaked & cold.
thanks! LOVE your video tips!
Adding squat and lunge weight training really helped my bike for powering up hills. Leg extensions has helped stabilize my knee joints. For back workouts, add back extensions and “good mornings”, this will ease any lower back pain from extended bike rides.
