Hey All
So after all my training and questions its come down to a month till the big first ever race! I am getting nervous and excited!
So I am now designing myself a 4 week plan to take me into the race.
I have read lots on here about tapering and training so any advice mods to this would be great................
Week 1
Monday- 10K run (evening)
Tuesday - Cycle 16 K and swim 35 mins (distance not drills)
Wednesday - Football for an hour and a half then swim 35 mins (distance again)
Thursday - 5 A-SIDE football for an hour
Friday - 7 K run hard.
Saturday - 25 K hilly bike.
Sunday - Recovery run 5 K slow.
Week 2
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Cycle 16K and swim 35 mins (drills)
Wednesday - Football 1 hour and a half and swim 35 mins (time check for 400m)
Thursday - Football 5-a-side 1 hour
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 10K run (race at Glastonbury)
Sunday - Bike cycle 35 K
The next 2 weeks will be the same but with smaller distances!
Any good?

No expert on this sort of thing, will be interested to see the replies. Perhaps a rest day in week one might be something to put in - 7 days seems a lot to me.
Cheers,

The fear is good I think! It helps to focus the mind!
Good luck iwth the training and the big day. We'll expect a full race report.
Man the force be strong in you!
1 - it's tpo easy to roll your ankle or get kicked and be unable to run. I've done this loads of times and it's really annoying. It would be even more annoying 4 weeks out from an event...
2 - the short sprints and long rests dont really translate that well to triathlon training.
I used to play at work, but i have stopped for exactly the reasons stated above.
I will make this week my last I think. I might just go in goal!
Thanks for the honest advise!
Should I take this as a rest day and maybe just pop to the pub with the football guys when they have finished?
