Hi,
I'm new to triathlons and busy getting fit for next session, I've been looking around the tinterweb for a winter training schedules to improve fitness, strength and to lose weight. I'm hoping to improve in these areas so I can concentrate on speed in the spring leading up to my first race.
Has anyone brought one of these training schedules? Are they any good, can you recommend any. Or should I wait as there is bound to be something in 220 in the coming months. But I am very keen to start getting into a routine.
Thanks in advance
Grant

I do not follow everything in the book religiously, and I can sometimes cut corners because that's just my life and my time constraints, but I find the book to be packed full of useful insights, helpful reminders and valuable tips. I kept going back and re-reading some sections over this past year, just to remind myself of key points, say, in the final couple weeks before a race, or the night before a race, or when I was feeling a little worn out and over-stretched. Worked for me every time.
Thanks rpopper65, sounds perfect...

As for winter practise, thats an easy on if you are new to tri; go easy, always a bit longer, no speeding and enjoy. Throw in some speed in at early spring and you'll run past yourself in your first season. Dont spend too much money on training plans, first see if you really get hooked after your first race.
Thats my thought
