Hi folks,
I'm hoping leveraging the power of the internet, LazyWeb style, to try to help out my wife. She's gung-ho about training with a friend of hers to compete in a triathlon (I'm assuming sprint distance at first), but doesn't have a good idea of where to start. Can anyone provide recommendations for good websites/books that provide training plans, guidance, etc for first time triathletes? Some things to note:
- She's not planning on doing this competitively – it's more of a personal-fitness goal type thing
- She's got about a 12 month timeframe to train
- Although she exercises regularly, she'll need a good training plan to ramp up to the level of physical activity required for a triathlon. A couch-to-sprint guide might be a good plan for her at first, if you know of a decent one.
I can use my Google-fu to find a lot of triathlon training sites out there (like this one), but I'd prefer to find out if someone's used one or can corroborate the usefulness of a site.
Thanks in advance!
