The right road

I have started some training now although not that much, this week I have been for one 5k run @ theshold pace completing it in 24mins 30secs which I am happy with. I have decided to change my training plan to the one below

It consists of a 20 week plan which contains arund 7-8 hours a week which should be very acheivable while continuing to play rugby twice a week.


I have also entered a super sprint triathlon which will be my first experience of the sport.

Race Details : 400m-20k-5k Style : triathlon - flat Level : 2/5

That seems very do-able but for me its really about seeing how my body copes with transitions and changing clothes during a race to try and get a feel for the sport.
