Ok I would say I have 6days a week where I can do some workout (only long day in Uni i have is Wednesday so everything else is free). In the morning I'm at the Uni so it all will go to the afternoon. My current workout days per week fluctuate between 0 and 2 but mostly 0  Okay so can you be more specific about how much time I should spend on the workout per day and per dicipline and then over what period? Is there any recommended order for the week on the diciplines? Would be cool if someone could make some kind of week plane or timetable on which day i have to do something, I need some outer impetus  |

I really have problems building routine. I just can get a regular workout done without an external control mechanism.

did you mean "I just can't get a regular workout done without an external control mechanism"?
perhaps looking into buying a training plan - there are plans that you can buy that will give you specific workouts on specific days. I do have a tri-coach, she sends me workouts, and I feel more accountable to do them beause I pay her for them. they are taylored for my strengths/weaknesses. I have friends who bought training plans just for ironman training, other than that they don't have coaches like I do - they are self coached.
this is my basic schedule:
monday: off
tuesday: lift, teach spin class, sometimes a 3 mi run
Wednesday: bike ride (in warmer weather outside) + run immediately after riding(aka: "a brick workout"), masters swimming practice
Thursday: lift, for me in summer or Ironman training another bike ride
Friday: morning swim, afternoon run
Saturday: long bike ride (in summer)....(winter - running 3-4 miles + lifting)
Sunday: teach spin class (every other sunday) + long run (7-10 miles)

Well where do I find a tri-coach as a beginner that doesn't coast much?

Hmm the training plans from trainingpeaks seem to need maschines for strenght workout and there is no description how to do that stuff actually, he just throws around terms not understandable for a beginner.

there are descriptions, they are just not that easy to find. I forgot about the strength portion of training peaks, I don't totally agree with their weight training philosophy. I don't use it, I do other strength training, like kettle bell work and power lifting and balance training. there are plans posted on www.opentri.com - there is a plan posted for a local sprint triathlon (the site coordinator is based out of my area in NJ), that would prep you for a first time triathlon. triathlon training is tricky, there are lots of plans out there and what works for me might not work for you. right now, to get started work up to 2 swims, 2 bikes, and 2 runs per week, to build some fitness - also do some yoga or pilates if you can for some core work and stretching. |

I don't see the Sprint one so I was going to try with the International distance one.

i think it might be labeled as "wyckoff triathlon training plan", but working into the international distance would be good as you'll definitely be ready for a sprint tri along the way.
Mike Llerandi, the guy who runs the website and provides the training plans is a very nice guy. Had some dealings with him in getting my team's page started (morris county multisports) and in promoting the indoor triathlon we ran at our Y last year, and he was very helpful and pleasant to deal with. Post questions on the boards there, as I am sure there are others on there who have used those plans before that can answer questions.

Okay first day of training, I actually managed to do all that swimming stuff. Afterwards I just had some difficulties lifting my arms to put my cloth back on. I will be so dead by tomorrow |

Ok the second day was even tougher than the first. I actually assumed the training plan was like for everyone even beginners. Now it feels more like a wake-up call with a 50k V taser I hope its okay if i develop some kind of blogging mentality in this thread on my experiences with that international distance training plan. |

Ok now i have some problems with my Achilles' tendon. At the end of the first cycling session it started to hurt and it still does so I currently only can do the swimming exercise, so any suggestions how to prevent such pain in the future? And how to make it go away quickly?

where are you cycling in a spinning class? are you using shoes with cleats or sneakers in a cage? I have never had issues with my achillies post cycling. are you cycling with your toes pointed down rather than a flat foot?
an alternative to running on the road is deep water running, I am not sure how to do this, as I have never really done it myself, but i know friends who have trainied for marathons partly by running in the water. it requires a floaty worn around your waist, then apparently you just run in the water. I hear its rather hard and a pretty good workout cardio wise. but somewhat on the boring side...well, so is the treadmill. but it trains your endurance, and supposedly works the smaller leg/foot muscles more than the larger ones - without all the pounding. great for training with an injury.
maybe you are doing too much too soon? perhaps cut all the workouts by 50% this week, then cut the next weeks down only by 60% then, 70% the following week and so on, until you are at 100% of the workouts. since you are coming from a place of not working out at that intensity, also cut back on the speed work too if there is any in there. there isn't much need to be doing speed work at this point in the season, just build fitness.
if you want to email me with questions as well please feel free....my email is posted on my profile. i check that more often than I check the boards most days.
