aiming for the stars??

Morning!! Yay we have a follower! Welcome aboard the mad ship!! we are out of the starting blocks :D

Today sees the start of my logged training and right now I dont have a clue what i need to do! so a quick to do list so that I can see what i need to acheive is needed! also if anyone know anyone who can help out with the following areas please let me know!!!
Physical training, particularly in triathalon and ultra marathon, nutrition advice (being a veggie the usual training addage of "chicken n fish chicken n fish then more chicken n more fish!! cant fit!!) or anyone who would be interested in corporate sponsorship of my entry fees into some events in turn for publicity would be great. I currently have an interview with a radio station, local press coverage and am hoping for a fitness magazine to cover the events also so there would be plenty of publicity in return for a very small outlay.
To Do:- Get off my butt and go to the gym!! thats would be a good first step and one that will be taking place in about 15 minutes when i've finished posting here! an hours run (about 12k) and some weights should set me right for the day! :)
look up training plans on line to form a structure to my exercise. The distances I am covering usually are subject to people under specific professional training. I currently dont have that (gulp!)
research nearby clubs and whether they would take a novice like me.

Off to the gym!! will let you know how I get on :D

  1. Hello,

    Following you from over at MSE :-) You have some amazing challenges ahead of you, and as I would be totally useless at all of them, I am going to live vicariously through you, that way I don't have any of the pain, lol!

    I will tweet and Fb your page to try and get you some more followers and some more donations, as that is what it is all about, Yay!

    Good luck with the training.

  3. Have you trotted over to Runner's World forums yet for training advice? Can heartily recommend, they're (mostly!) lovely over there :D There's a whole team of Pirates (who's basic premise is 'of course you can do an IronMan, don't let them tell you otherwise!' who would just LOVE to give triathlon etc advice :D
