This is a simple short routine from the Marine corp site. What ever weights you are using is personal to you. We all start at different points. the goal is progress. What I like about this one is it is based on time for each circuit. 20 Minutes Circuit Workout (*choose light weights for max reps) 1) Bench press* or pushups…

Many triathletes follow a 2,2,2, plan. 2 days of biking, 2 days of running and 2 days of swimming every week. alternating sports daily.

FXGS, I drank 5 half liter bottles of fresh water immediately after the race. I think I severely underestimated my need for water on this swim. I need to treat it more like a running race. If 1 gallon is 8 pounds. Then I drank 5/8 of a gallon. which sounds reasonably considering I drank 2.5 liters of fresh water afterward.…

Yeah I ran for a year but was in constant pain. no major injuries, but pain always. A friend of mine suggested I switch to triathlon. I switched to running, biking and swimming alternating workouts. All my running pain went away! I did not start to lose weight until I started tracking my food. I found that you can never…

That's very inspiring. I'm just starting now.

I had to eat before I ran in the past. The first 2-3 times I felt funny when running after I ate. But shortly afterward, It felt normal for me to eat then ran with no funny feelings.
