A day, or days, in the life of a middle aged triathlete (that may be a bit of a stretch...;-) )
Okay...first effort at a blog on this site. Not had much luck in the past with other sites. I guess I am too old for myspace, too ugly for facebook, and too lacking in friends for any of the other sites!
A day/days in the life of me:
19-2-2008....
up at 0600 to get ready to drive up north for a meeting. Stopped at a rest area for my 'high protein' brekkie of sausage, bacon, egg and coffee (it was 7'ish after all!!!). Then drove the 125 miles to the meeting, sat thru it for 5 hours and drove home. Had as healthy a lunch as could be considering it was provided and they usually don't cater to healthy options!
1730...at the gym, did hard interval training on the treadmill, working on hills to build up leg strength and stamina, then to some leg strength work (squats, etc) before torquing my already bad shoulder (trying to get into a machine of all things!!).
1845...Dinner, two egg and cheese omelete. Got to love this high protein stuff. Only downside is that it makes me VERY grumpy.
2200...bed
20-2-2008...
up at 0730, bit of a lay in today! No real breakfast, couldn't be bothered.
0900...physio on shoulder at hospital...got a nice elastic band to play with!
Spent the rest of the day working from home.
The plan for the rest of the day is....
1800/1900....indoor cycle for 45 mins then run for 3 miles.
Need to get back into training after stomach bug I had a week and a half ago!
Happy training...update tomorrow.

Sounds great and sorry to
Sounds great and sorry to hear about your shoulder, i had a similar problem. This means your training has to change but it isn't an excuse to stop permanently.
Perform front squat
Do horizontal cable rows
Perform chin ups
Eliminate all pressing besides push ups and iso push ups.
Perform scapular mobility and activation drills.
Strengthen your core.
Look at your posture carefully. There are other things you can do but this is just at the top of my head.
Good luck
