Throughout the 2011 Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge, we will be posting workout and meal plans so you can follow along at home. Today's posting is the first four weeks of training.
The 6-pack are well into training for the New York City Triathlon. In just one month's time we've seen their health improve and their fitness levels increase…dramatically! They are going longer with their workouts as they build their base, and soon they will head into going stronger! Are you ready to join them? Are you ready to get in shape for triathlon racing this summer? Let's get started!
We'll post four weeks of workouts at a time. Follow the steps and then get it done…no excuses!
Step 1 – Go sign up for a sprint distance race sometime in June, then an Olympic distance race sometime in August. The program above will prepare you for these distances.
Step 2 – Enlist some friends and family to join you in the training (and perhaps racing). It's more fun with a crowd.
Step 3 – Put the workouts below in your calendar and stick to them!!
