Hello and welcome!
The theme of this Blog's is preparing for a triathlon on the Olympic distance.
This consists of the following disciplines:
1,5 km - Swimming
40km - 10km cycling
- create running
to avoid this - and in a reasonable time - is a lot of training needed.
all began in late April of this year (2009). Few times I've tried for a long time to run constantly Sport to run more accurately. I did this but not in the year before really. But this time it should be different. Playing football I was always more often, that was me after a few minutes almost physically KO. I wanted to change this finally. And I decided "once again" going to run several times a week. As an incentive to me, the annual business Graz Marathon served at SFZ. As a comparison value for the 5km, it was only the last year of about 26 minutes to offer, and that should be easy. Unfortunately I could not but participate in this event and the new target was set an internal company triathlon season. There was also to run 5km.
To get the motivation I decided summarily to buy me a GPS sports watch from Garmin. Forerunner 405th Also had some run-clothes (functional shirts, etc.) to be purchased. Several hundred euros later was clear: "This time I pull it through." And so it was. In the first two weeks I was running eight times. An absolute record. Then, the triathlon was at the door. And I was already there (after only a few weeks training) better than ever before. (According Forerunner 4:27 min / km to a distance of 4.8 km).
But as always there was then a short 1 1/2- week break which unfortunately did nothing. Once again, I thought I would have failed. But I overcame me and started in again, I had set a new goal. And although the Graz City Marathon. Of course, not the entire length but only the City-Run 10.5 miles. After the immediate application for this, I decided to also make an appointment for a performance test identify. Let's see some € lighter, it was found out in this, that I should train my endurance (was somehow clear). Said and done, from then on I was running about 30km a week, and until now, has certainly paid off. Already 4 pounds lighter I feel right now in good shape. Also playing football I notice a distinct improvement. But because all this to me is not enough, and I already know that 10km run no problem anymore, I wanted to look for next year already have a new goal, and this is now just triathlon.
Currently I still can not set what times I set myself a goal since I swam so far neither 1.5km, 40km to the nor Wheel drove. So you see that as something to expect. The only goal that I have made up my mind would be a period of 45 minutes, which I found so far is relatively unlikely. But less than 50 minutes should be in there anyway.
I'm going to stop here so to date, what about my training. Whether I improved or deteriorated as far as my training is what new purchases are made, which took part for the year 2010 are planned, etc. As a first attempt
I will this Saturday (12.09.2009) is already a first Sprint Triathlon on Sulmsee . complete This consists of 750m swim, 20km cycling and 5km run together. But as I yet absolutely have no competition experience, and not a road bike (and certainly not a Triathlon) possess, the objectives are clear:
1) "FINISH"
second to arrive) Do not be the last at the finish:) Whether I
succeed can follow it here.
So ...
... stay tuned
