    IM: Brillo

    Hiya, decided to stuff just mainly weights and a c25k program. I want to get fit and lose weight, decided a steady triathlon program will be perfect!

    I've found this: Run fatboy, run!!!

    Do you have anything better or is this ideal?

    Cheers,
    Scooby
    I didn't say it was your ******* fault, I said I was blaming you!

            Personally I would listen to your body. JUst try a bit of light running/cycling/swimming. of course the toughest bit is getting going - I have not found a way to get me through the first 5 minutes. But after that your body will love it. It wants to be fit.

              Cheers bud. Completely changed my programme for tomorrow. 15min cycle, 30 weights, 15-20min run, 15min swim (my weak area!). Then the important and hardest bit, 15min sauna and steam room!

                Try doing sprint intervals for the running/cycling. It really pushes your cardio system:

                Interval Training | LIVESTRONG.COM

                How To Do Sprinting Intervals On A Treadmill | LIVESTRONG.COM

                Six sessions of sprint interval training increases muscle oxidative potential and cycle endurance capacity in humans
                Our data show that aerobic endurance capacity was dramatically improved after only six sessions of sprint interval training, despite the fact that V̇O2 peak remained unchanged. Indeed, exercise time to exhaustion more than doubled in six of eight subjects who performed the training intervention
                I do a minute on full sprint (18kph) then a minute walking (4kph) repeated 5 times. Took me 2 months of 1 gym session a week to go from 14kph up to 18

                and make sure you do plenty of squats with those weights!

                  Walking briskly away from cakes, choc's, pies, pasties and other fattening foods is always a good way to start.
