As I mentioned last week I’m starting triathlon training so I could hopefully participate in the upcoming triathlon this October. I had my first day with The 3 Club and I don’t think I did that bad. My biggest issue actually is the fact I barely had time to do anything with three different sessions squeezed into my evening. At 5PM I had cycling which went easier than I expected. This was stationary and indoor which is why it probably felt easier than my usual rides to the gym in blazing heat riding against strong headwind. Class was done by 6 and I barely had enough time to rest before I hit Core Fitness for an hour of intense weight lifting at 7PM. I finished from Core, headed home, barely had time to feed my dog, grab a bite and update my post on Fehaid Aldeehani before I had to leave again for my 10PM running session with The 3 Club. Exhausting to say the least.
The running session was held at a track in Keifan and while we were there I spotted a lot of young guys and girls doing a variety of track and field training. I spotted everything from discus throwing and high jumping to hurdles and tripple jumping. It felt great running around the track while a bunch of other track and field sports were taking place at the same time. It actually energized me and made me feel like an athlete for the hour I was there (an old one with a bad knee but still). So overall it wasn’t a bad first day at all.

Wheres the swimming?? Isnt swimming part of the 3 club? How come ur not practicing swimming?
swimming is today
how many others,, training that is!
not sure since i didn’t count, maybe like 12 guys and 6 girls? maybe less not sure.
That’s quite a training regiment you got there my friend. I wish I could do all that (will attempt one day). You’re training like an elite superathlete, I hope you’re eating at least 4000 calories a day of nothing but the best most nutrient dense organic foods on the planet. The only other guy I know of who trains for triathlons, jiu jitsu, and striking is Nick Diaz.
lol i wish i could be like diaz but sadly i’m 10 years past my prime
Does one have to be a member of a club to run on the track or is it open to all?
no idea, my guess is you don’t have to be a member since gates were open and no one stops you from walking in.
I Bet you have a bad knee because you 6’2Ft
i have a bad knee because of an incident with two large travel bags and tiny steep easyhotel stairs.
Oh, That’s how i injured my back -.-, and my height is not helping with the injury.
Hey Mark, where is this track? What time is it open? I’m in Kuwait for the summer and need to continue training for the 800M. My fastest yet is 1.46ish. Hello next olympics, maybe. inshallah
This is the track on google maps
