Week 1: Workouts

For your swim workouts substitute yards for meters if you swim in a yard pool. Most pools are either 25meters or 25yards long. Next week will get into more specific workouts.

There is also a Google Docs version of the above workouts, if you would like another format please let me know. Click here to view the document.

Assumptions

For those of you following along, and hopefully training to race along side me. I will be making a few assumptions about you. I am going to assume the following:

• You have the ability to swim 1 length of the pool.
• You have access to bike
• You are in good health
• You want to do this and create a healthy lifestyle 
• That you will consistently follow along  

If you can not swim and have never swam, please contact the YMCA to learn about beginner swim programs. If you do not have access to a bike (Mountain Bikes and borrowed bike are fine), then you will not be able to compete. If you are not in good health, please see your Doctor.

Like in any athletic endeavor or training program please first consult your Doctor.
