Let me try again. I do a lot of cardio. My life is swim, bike, run, repeat, it seems. Also I do bodyweight exercises (plank, push ups, burpees). I've really started incorporating weights, and I'm seeing gains in my strength. I get the need for resistance training. But I just don't get why people are against cardio.

I have a aueru

Aug. 23 - 3 miles

Aug. 21 - 1.5 miles (lackluster, lightning)

Aug. 20 -- 2 miles of hill repeats

Hello! I'm Anna -- mother of two living in Virginia. I completed my first tri last week! It was a sprint, and my times weren't great, but I fell in love. So wonderful training hard and accomplishing such sport. Looking forward to more races and getting to know you all. Good luck to you!

Aug. 17 -- 2.75 (treadmill)

8/15 -- 3.5 8/16 -- 2.1

Glad to hear the ticker is broken for others. Aug. 13 -- 4 miles 19.5 of 50

Aug. 9 -- 1 mile Aug. 10 -- 3 mile (tri day)

8/7 - 1.8

Aug. 6-- 3.2

I'll sign up.

I'll woek on a ticker in a bit. I plan 50 miles this month. I looked at my app and I logged 32 last month. Aug. 1 - no run, swam Aug. 2 - 2.25 miles Aug. 3 - 2.65 miles (annoyed I didn't just keep going)

Hello, I'm Anna. I think I joined a similar running challenge over the spring, but I petered out posting miles. I'll endeavor to improve Tia go 'round. I run 3-4 times a week, anywhere from 1 to 4 miles. Just started being consistent in the past couple of months. Since May I've trained for my first Triathlon ( a sprint),…

I've begun training with a local group, and I already can tell it's going to be super helpful. The coaching and tri pros are just what I need to,push me along.

I'm checking out this thread because I, too, have decided to sign up for my first triathlon -- a half mile swim, 10k bike, 5k run. It's in August, but I found that same Irongirl site and it suggested I could be ready in 11 weeks. I have confidence in myself, but that doesn't mean I'm not nervous. I haven't swam…

^this.

Great story. Could you, or others, point me to resources to begin lifting? I've taken Body Pump classes, and I like it, but I wouldn't say that was heavy. What , exactly, does heavy mean? Do machines count?

Crummy work out cardio wise yesterday. But I did rock the strength training. I fear having enough time to finish my challenge miles. My husband will be gone all week, which means I do not get to exercise out of the house because I have to watch the children. I usually can't run more than 3 miles a day, and that's a…
