My last triathlon was a half ironman in November 2016. I did that in about 5:30, I had done 6-7 annually prior to that.
Since then I have swam, ran, rode and lifted weights sporadically. No structure at all.
I am not 41 and well overweight and I need a physical goal, the idea of losing weight to lose weight doesn't work. My goal would be a 70.3 in about a years time but I am not sure on the best way to get restarted.
Any thoughts on a couch to 70.3 in 1 year training plan? Blocks of sports specific work? slowly build all sports together? Build endurance first, then layer speed on top?
Logically I know I am no where near as fit as I was, but I struggle mentally too as all of my paces seem so slow....but that is my battle to deal with.
