The organization running the training program Vic and I are doing just posted the training plans! The actual orientation for the program isn't until next Saturday (at 7am...ugh) and technically the training doesn't begin until Jan 29th. So now I just have all these questions and I have to wait for answers (I hate waiting).
Some of my questions include:
- If I'm already running/swimming/biking longer than is prescribed on the training plan, should I keep up with what I can already do, or stick with plan?
- Can I swap workouts around across the week?
- When we get up to working out 6 days a week, can I take a different day as my "off" day?
- Is there a benefit or detriment to stick with my current strength training workouts on the off days?
- When we get up to working out 6 days a week, should I do strength training in addition to the running/swimming/biking or forgo it all together?
- If I can't bike outside, any tips on using the gym bikes? Settings? Resistance? Hills? etc
- What if I have to miss the training tri? Will there be other opportunities to practice transitions?
- All the plans only have run/swim/bike times, what distances should we be expected to accomplish within those times?
- How soon after the goal race can we expect to be able to complete another race?
- I saw the first happy hour is a block from my apartment, how do I make sure the future ones are as well?
I'm sure there are other things I need/want to know, this is just what I came up with in the first five minutes, and it doesn't include the questions I assume will be covered the various bike maintenance/nutrition/gear buying/etc clinics.
Very much looking forward to getting the answers to these questions and getting started!
