Pheidippides’s BodyBlog

I’m ready to set my New Year Resolutions in writing, having given them more thought than they probably deserve.  My goals, all to be achieved by my 44th birthday in June, are:

• Train for and finish an Olympic-distance triathlon in under 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Get my weight down to 165 (currently 175).
• Reduce bodyfat to under 14% (currently around 21%).
• Achieve modest strength/weight lifting goals, which I’ve put on my Bodyspace page.
• Heal my Achilles tendon so I can run regularly again.

Realistically I won’t achieve these goals without a carefully drawn out schedule.  I plan to achieve my strength and weight lifting goals first, while reducing my weight and bodyfat just a little bit.  Once my strength goals are achieved I will shift into triathlon training and fat loss, and will concentrate on maintaining strength while losing weight and improving aerobic capacity, endurance, speed, and skill in cycling and swimming.
