PUSH YOURSELF

Winter is coming. So is the belly fat and the “I don’t have time” to work out excuses. What to do? Set a goal. A deadline. An “I will die on this day if I don’t start training now” kind of commitment. Spring is months away. You have no excuses. So take your pick:
If you can walk…then you can run a 10K.
A 10K is about six miles. One hour of running. Regular runners can do this in their sleep. Here’s an 8 week training schedule and a race finder.
If you can run a 5K…then you can do a mud run.
Mud runs range from 3 miles to 12 miles with about 20 military-style obstacles along the way. There are many mud run options, my favorite being the Tough Mudder.
If you can run a half marathon…then you can do a triathlon.
You already know how to commit yourself to a running training schedule, now just add cycling and swimming. Start with a sprint triathlon – a 750-meter swim, a 20k bike ride, and a 5K run.
If you can run a marathon…then you can do an Ironman.
Marathon runners already know what it takes to alter their lifestyles drastically for training. Take a look at this 36-week training program – that’s 9 months, people!
