Oh yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing with all my time
Hi. I don’t know if we’ve met. I’m Adrian and I’m crazy.
Last week’s triathlon training.
Saturday: 2.0 miles bicycling -> 0.9 miles swimming -> 17 miles bicycling -> 3.2 miles running
Sunday: 22 miles bicycling (Old la Honda, 2000 ft elevation gain)
Monday: 3.5 miles running
Wednesday: 1.0 miles swimming
Thursday: 3.5 miles running
Totals (and the goals in parenthesis):
- swimming: 1.9 miles (2.0)
- running: 10.2 miles (10-11)
- bicycling: 41 miles (15-22)
- brick: one triathlon (at least one brick)
I don’t know if I can keep this up. The running is starting to become a real problem, like a joint pain problem. I think I’ll try to just keep up this week.
Goals:
- swimming: 1.9 miles
- running: 10.0 miles
- bicycling: 15 miles
- brick: at least one

Be careful about overexerting your joints when you first start running. It’s normal, especially for your ankles and knees, to ache and be gimpy if you ramp up too quickly.
Don’t run if your joints hurt, it will make them worse. In the past I have had to wait several weeks to heal before I could run again. Maybe you don’t have that luxury, but these things come back to bite you on the ass on race day.
Good luck roomie!
