Hi All............seeking some guidance and advice regarding a suitable training plan (...preferably free!!!) to bring me back from injury.
Having competed in my first Tri season, at Super Sprint, this year I had just started to plan my 2009 season, at the end of September, intending to step up to Sprint distance in 2009, when disaster struck. Whilst climbing in Wales (........I know what you are thinking, what a stupid thing to be doing!!) I suffered a fall [:(]. Unfortuneately it wasn't only my pride that was hurt as I trapped a nerve in my neck resulting in being laid up unable to do any training at all, and an intense period of physio and chiropractic treatment. The upshot is that my physio has now prenounced me fit enough to re-commence light training..........yiphee[:)]!!!
Downside is I am not sure where to start............so can anyone let me know where I can find a suitable training schedule to ease me back gently with the goal of being able to complete a Sprint Tri in 5-6 months.
Trust someone out there can help.

Once you are strong enough though, for getting back into sprints there are some superb plans that are downloadable (not sure if thats a word [8|]) and most of them are 12 or 16 weeks so that gives you a fair bit of time to strengthen your body before you start your plan.
Good luck and heal strong!!!!
In the interim I will have a go at searching on the web for a suitable Sprint plan in readiness.
Cheers [:)]
Since starting mine training again I have been a little sore, which sports massage has helped with, but apart form that I have had no probblems and am now training 6 days a week with max distances of 1.5km swim, 25 mile bike and 6 mile runs. I have been training around 2 months now so you ca see with a steady build up you should be fine. Hope it helps.
So it looks like for the time being I am restricted to surfing the net and reading Tri 220 to get my fill of tri!
Thanks for the advice.......once I get the green light to return to training I will seek to follow you lead.
Good luck with your return to full fitness[:)].
