1.For every four months start a different speed.\nJanuary,February,March,April: Walk\nMay,June,July,August: Jog\nSeptember,October,November,December: Run\n2. Do each speed for about 2.3 miles each day.\n3. On the morning of the triathlon: Wake up early enough to run 3.1 mi.  \nI hope this helps.  It helped me out in cross country.

None. \nSimple foods--whole brown rice, for example, or veggies and the like are recommended. Very little, if any, products containing refined sugars should be eaten. No products containing white flour--the stuff is garbage.\nAnd of course, regular exercise.\nI could go on and on...

Some people just have a sleepy reaction after swimming, probably a combination of the warm pool air, being "weightless" for so long, and the chlorine fumes.  Also, it is easy to overheat in the pool because your sweat doesn't evaporate like it does on the bike and on the run, and you use more calories.  I'd suggest brinking a good quality sports drink to the pool with you to replenish liquids and carbs during your workout, and also, you want to make sure you put a small amount of carbs/protein in your body within 30 minutes of your workout to help with recovery (chocolate milk, wheat crackers and peanut butter, half a turkey sandwich, etc.).  Sounds like you are training for triathlons, maybe?  The carbs are a good idea in races too after a swim, but you need something easily digestible, which is why some athletes wrap a powerbar around their handlebars.\nEdit: Also, since it sounds like swimming isn't your strength, you may not be getting the adrenaline rush after it like you do with running and biking because you are swimming at a long slow pace.  You could try an interval workout to switch things up and get your heart rate up a little higher.  You can find some good workouts here.  http://www.swiminfo.com/swim-cgi/

When it comes to sports nutrition, your weight makes you and ideal candidate to eat anything you would like, within reason.  There are a number of factors, other than the surface question to take into consideration, such as what is the length and/or duration of your run and the intensity with which you run.  If you are currently not eating before your runs, try having a snack consisting of carbohydrates and protein (i.e. a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread).  You will need to find what works best with your body, and this will take some trial and error.  Hang in there, and you will find the right balance of when and what to eat.  Also, look for articles and advice from Nancy Clark.  She's a sports nutritionist with great advice and number of columns on sport websites in addition to other publications.

The number one best way to make your metabolsm run faster is to eat breakfast....that will start it every day. Then eat many small meals throughout the day. What I do is have a:\n- 200 calorie breakfast at 8:30 am. (then I work out)\n -Then at 10:15 have a 100 calorie snack (count out wheat thins or an apple or somthing that is 100 cals. \n-eat a 300 cal. lunch\n- @ 2:15 another 100 cal. snack. \nwork out after work\n- @ 5:00 pm a 400 calorie dinner (work out after dinner)\nthen at 7:00 have another 100 calorie snack...\nThat is the best diet I have ever encountered, I've lost 30 lbs in the past 3 months!!! Good Luck!! Let me know if it works!!!

High intensity exercise combined with a healthy eating plan, NOT a diet as diet's are only temporary!!\n\nExpend more calories than you take in, this is what it ultimetly comes down to.

Lowering triglycerides emphasizes several dietary components.\n\n* Decreasing calories to lose weight if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 25 or higher. \n* Restricting alcohol \n* Limiting fat to about 35% of calories \n* Decreasing carbohydrate, particularly simple carbohydrate, to no more than about 50% of calories \n* Decreasing saturated fat to less than 7% of calories \n* Limiting dietary cholesterol to less than 200 mg per day \n* Using unsaturated fat to replace saturated fat \n\nEat more fish as the fat in it is of the good sort.  Eat fish that have a short life span like shrimp and salmon as they don't have the mercury problem and fish with longer lives have.  Fish liver oil and flax seed oil are good for you

Well am a swimmer and have swam since i was little. I was always told to eat bananas, bagles, pasta, etc. All of those are good and help with your swimming. I knwo this isnt healthy but my coach always had me eat a choclate bar about 30 min before a race to give me energy, it helped alot!  Good Luck , oh by the way i would suggest not drinking pop the week before a swim meet or the day of one

Running burns more calories. If you can combine running for 10 mins consistently then do 50 lunges, run for 10 miuntes do 50 squat jumps, run for 10 mins do 50 push ups, run for 10 minutes up/down a flight of stairs, find a hill then do 10 sprints up and down, then 10 mins consistently. \n\nVariation is also the best thing to do. It means you are placing less strain on the same muscle groups and stimulating other muscles. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

EAT... Seeds, Nuts, Fruit, Oats and other whole grains and vegetables of the Season. Use alternative milks and where possible rye bread. Replace your white sugar with Dark or Light Muscavado (to taste). Proper slaked sea salt + genuine cider vinegar. Sea food, oily fish only, and then very very sparingly (consider as a treat). Learn about herbs; they cover everything from hormone replacement to sources of vitamins and trace elements. HERBS ARE THE MOST EXCELLENT FOOD.\n\nMany creatures exist on such a diet, are bigger, stronger, and healthier than ANY MAN.\n\nDONT EAT... white bread, refined ... processed foods, fried foods of any nature; I would even include grilled food here, meat, including chicken and eggs. Drink much less tea and coffee. You've got the idea? If youi must cook then slow baked/roasted, else slow boiled/steamed is the way.\n\nTHE BEST DIET IS PREDOMINANTLY RAW.\n\nWhere exercise is concerned the best is to walkj/jog around an obstacle course. Overcoming objects gives the body the necessary 'brush with danger' that it thrives upon while jogging/walking exerciseS virtually every vital part.\n\nLight weights, yoga, and restorative exercises such as Tai Chi are also excellent body toners.\n\nGet you head to be a Marine and your body will follow. Remmber TRUE Marines are hard, disciplined and just men.

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.
