If your anywhere near Yorkshire, I could do with a crew, for sailing trips, both in Yorkshire and the Lake District, Been sailing since I was 7, so should be able to show you what to do?\nDon't be scared to get wet, but an RYA level 1 or 2 course will give you a good starting platform.\nI would suggest going on a course, as there is so much you pick up that is very hard to put into writing, such as wind awareness etc...

Okay you have a whole year ahead of you.\nLets start with the pyramid: 1.Building endurance/strength.\nUsually I say run based on time, but if you are training for a marathon, you want base your runs on a weekly mile basis. Starting at fifty-sixty miles a week is okay(below average) but that should be where you start.\nCould winters(Nov-Dec) getting a lot of snow. Stick to training just with the bare limits, as in run outside only on good days, get to a gym otherwise. Use this time to work more on your oxygen in-take, and your abs. Remember form is a key essential, for it will effect your stomach.\nNext on the pyramid: The Ladder(Jan). Time to really transition your body, prepare it for the training you will have ahead of you. Already gone through tough ab workouts and perfecting the stomach. So now you can do training that involves more of the stomach, like eating and running, running then coming home to a quick meal, also now you should start getting urself use to eating specific meals, water intake, and all those little details that will effect you in the long run. The Ladder time is to focus on you(find out about your body) as to how you should train, eat, stretch, and run, you will know what you will have to do to improve to better times.\nNext step: Hell(Feb-May) for the next four months you should go through hills, building your miles up. Doing these miles on hills in higher altitude, that way it will help your lungs(once again oxygen intake) keep it simple with exercise of other parts of the body(as in weights if you do them, ab workouts, swimming). The key here is to never push yourself 100% in anything. Do it at a safe 70-75% ratio.\nNext pyramid step: Speed! Rocky Speed!(Jun-July) Miles are up, feeling strong, but are you that fast. Time to find out if all that work has come to do you good. Your body should be well ready for anything u throw at it(BRING IT ON!!!) I know ur probably impatient by now...these timed speed drills start with just doing 100m sprints, 100m cool and easy, and work urself all the way up to one mile. Then just do mile run times. Find out ur weakness, then find out about your race.\nNext step: Qualify(Aug) Find out before hand, do a race(doesn't have to be a marathon, training marathon - 18 miles...around there) and work from that. See what your times are, see where you had your problems. Did you push too hard on a hill, you didn't stick with that guy when he pushed and now u r three minutes behind him! Use it to focus as to where u will be in a big race, its always crowded, so try to relax and remember you've done ur work - you are ready.\nFinal step: Showtime(Sep-Oct) september u should be running three times a day if possible. Run in the morning, in the afternoon, at night. Run a half-hour to an hour each run. If you can't then save them for days off, and work more on your speed combined with your pace. Just how long you can manage this pace. Yeah Boston is famous for the heartbreak hill. You ain't scared, you're gonna show the hill whos boss. Time to start running with some friends and get the bravery in your heart. Whenever ur down in the race rub your heart(where ur wings are) and become the brave runner u always wanted to be. Time to find spots on the boston course where you will pick up - slow down. Obviously run the course to be ready for this.\nThen...October....show time.

Rest.\n\nI wouldn't do anything more than warm-up and stretch out. Get rid of all your tiredness and soreness. It's too late now to get in any better shape, so just get rested.\n\nWhen the gun goes off, you should have so much energy that you have to hold back to keep from going out to fast.\n\nNote: This is based on marathon experience. Half ironman is probably more or less equivalent.

Any kind of sport will help you stay fit and healthy, so long as you participate regularly in it.\n\nTriathlon consists of swimming, biking and running, in that order. Distances depend on whether you're doing a sprint distance, an olympic distance or half-ironman, ironman or ultra. \n\nIf you are the kind of person who gets bored sticking with one thing, tri is great. However, it takes up a LOT of time to train for three sports.  But if sports are your life, then it might be the thing for you.\n\nI recently started training for my first olympic distance triathlon and it has been challenging, enjoyable and has helped my fitness tremendously.

The best way to train for a 5k is going to be lots of running.  I'm assuming you can already jog 3 miles without stopping.  So, here's the type of schedule I'd use (fit to your own needs/schedule):\n\nWeek #: Sun  Mon  Tue  Wed  Thu  Fri  Sat\nWeek 1: 3.00 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 2: 3.50 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 3: 3.75 R 1.50 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 4: 3.25 R 2.00 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 5: 4.00 R 1.50 R 2.00 R 1.00\nWeek 6: 3.00 R 1.50 R 1.50 R 5K\n\nThe numbers are the distance in miles, and the 'R' stands for a rest day (no running).  Don't be afraid to change the long-run days around, as long as you make sure the next day is a rest day.  The above schedule is a little guesswork on my part, since I typically prepare for things months in advance, not weeks.  All the above training should be done at conversational pace (you could easily talk with someone who was running with you).\n\nI wish you the best of luck at your 5k.

I'll take a stab - form, endurance & strength training. Do interval work outs (sprints to develop fast twitch muscles), long climbs - stay in the saddle and spin; do a 60 mile ride a week ( average cadence) and then spend a few sessions in the gym to develop your legs - Once every two weeks do a time trial - same distance all the time and the same course - you will certainly get stronger. Hope this helps

Train during the summer.  I didn't and I was never prepared for the early season races.  5 days a week of 5-7 miles a day should be fine.  Try to get some hills and/or sand running in.

There are some books on training.  You might want to try Chris Carmicheal's cook book.  You can also check out www.beginnertriathelete.com.  There are lots of resources.

First of all great job and god bless you for taking charge of your life to a better you!!! Now my doctor told me that it is recommended by the American Heart Association that we need at lease 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. So here is what i do i either jog or use  the elliptical machine for 45-60 minutes 3 days a week. Then, 2 days out of the week i get on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then i do strength training for 30 minutes. You see that is just part of my life style. One other part is asking for gods help to get me through this because without him i wouldn't be able to do this. So what ever ever higher power you believe in ask for its help and you will get it. Also as part of my healthier eating style i follow the South Beach book its great! You can order it on-line or buy it at a book store for less than 20$. Well I hope this helped you if you want more support or advice don't be afraid to email my email is jgomez3582@yahoo.com. Take care Lisa! Oh by the way my name is James
