Hi I swim regularly that is a mile and a half twice a week. But running is a whole different thing! I have been doing this app for past 3 weeks on a treadmill with an incline of 2 which is what I have been advised by the try-a-tri team so when you run outside its not so hard. Got to week four day one OUCH! Had to drop it to a incline of 1 and reduce speed. Think I will be at this week for. While! Also trying to loose weight but not going great, trying the fitness pal app? Any suggestions?

I've been using MyFitnessPal to watch the diet. My goal isn't so much about losing weight but reducing body fat. So making sure I eat enough protein has been a challenge (my Achilles heel is bread).

 

By watching what I eat and practicing some portion control, I've lost over 11 lbs. My estimated max VO2 has increased by 5%. I don't like dieting so this has been a good compromise for me since extreme or weird diets generally don't work over the long haul.
