| Workout & Event Calendar Club members be sure to check the Tri Cub Topics page as well... The regular 101 Tri training may be over but we are going to continue through the year and have established a few goal races for the year to keep us motivated. Other than Baxter and Assault and other "local" tri's, a few of us are planning on and some have ALREADY signed up for Miami Man International Race on November 14. and even if you are not planning on participating, continue to get your workouts in with the rest of us - accountability always helps!!! Plus it is much more fun!
Be sure if you cannot make a coached scheduled workout, go to the Upper Palmetto YMCA website www.upymca.org ... and go to your branch of choice and look at the fitness schedules. TRI-101 WORKOUT COMMENTS It is not critical to make every coached workout, it is more important to just keep up with a routine that includes: 1 or 2 swim, including one that steadily increases your distance 1 or 2 run, including one that steadily increases your distance 1 or 2 bike. Strength & Core, even if it is done at home while watching TV Rest!
Coached workouts are provided as a tool to help with your training. The coach provides direct feedback as you need it. The group provides the social aspect and accountability that are so important to the sport. If you can't make a coached workout, that's ok, check out the YMCA schedule and facility times to get your workouts in as needed and use the info provided in the weekly email to design your workout. Also, for those not already on a regular workout schedule, be very conscious of how your body feels these first few weeks. For many, starting up a program that includes workouts 6 days a week will be a shock to the system. Listen to your body, rest as you need it, you don't need to risk an injury. But also make sure to differentiate between true tiredness and a lack of motivation. | |
