Subject: Training Plan Suggestions My first post, I think. I'm looking for a little help with choosing a training plan and will take any and all advice. At this point I don't feel confident with picking one and have this little voice in my head telling me that if I don't get the right one I'll be wasting time (a little over the top, I know).
Anywho, a little background. I've been out of shape for about four years now and have some weight to lose (40-50 certainly wouldn't hurt), but have been back at the gym for the past two months. I've been trying to spend about an hour doing cardio each day, 5-6 days a week. I've been doing about 21 miles/hr on bike in the gym (I don't imagine the numbers from these machines reflect reality very well) keeping my HR around 135 bpm. When I run I'm doing around 4.8 miles/hr with my HR around 160 bpm. I'll usually alternate these or split the hour between them. Although a little tired after workouts, I'm far exhausted and always look forward to my gym time.
Up to this point I haven't had any real structure in what I do and I'd really like to get started with a plan of some sort. I don't have access to a pool, but do have a lot of drive/time/flexibility to train. I'm shooting for my first sprint in 7 months. I want to challenge myself. I have no delusions of placing, but I'd like to do more than finish.
Any suggestions? Thanks
