It's not an app, but I really like the New Rules of Lifting - the original book.  It's in line with the methodology I learned from my ACE Personal Trainer course.  

Yeah, I don't either.  Guy who won beat me by 25 minutes.  I just tell myself they've been running since high school, I've been running for 18 months.

Hey guys- checking in.  One year post op. Starting weight 337. I have had some up and downs with my weight.  The week of 10/22 I was on a family vacation and ran 8 miles a day 5 of those 7 days.  I came home and had lost 5 lbs down to 170.1- very exciting.  Then on 11/5 I was able to complete my first marathon and I was at about 171- 173.  I finished in 5 hours 43 minutes, I am glad to just finish, the average is 4 hours and 30 minute -so yes I am very slow.  Now for the concerning part-  I have jumped up to 175.  I dont have any plans to run  45-60 miles a week just to keep my weight down. I cannot keep up that kind of mileage.  My eating seems to be a little out of control. I am eating protein bars and drinking protein shakes for lunch and breakfast. Then at dinner I have either salmon or crab or just vegetables with another protein bar. I am eating the right foods- but too much!! . I  am now interested in training for a Sprint Triathlon in June 2017 for Fathers day. 750 meters swim in open water about a 1/2 mile , 20k bike race 12 miles and 5k run - 3.2 miles .

So now I have started swimming in the mornings and then getting on the treadmill for a half hour and the on the stationary bike for a half hour. Even though I am not running 9 or 10 miles each morning I am starving/ravenous after swimming for just a half hour to 45 minutes.  I am really struggling with the swimming. The pool is 25 meters and I cannot swim one lap without stopping several times. 

I am hoping my weight is not going to skyrocket just because I am no longer running long distances. Well it seems like I continue to struggle with over eating even after surgery. I am going to be grateful for weighing 175 and not 337.  

If anyone has any suggestions, advice words of wisdom for training for a sprint triathlon and any suggestions on how to build endurance swimming it would be greatly appreciated- 

I have been on a lot of web sites and have been reading 2 books- A lot of the training guides sound  like a foreign language to me.  When I tried to post to online forums not getting much response or feedback, forums geared to training for a triathlon.  Thanks for your help- have a good week :) 

I was in Ocean City over the weekend with my mom and we rented recumbent tricycles to race on the boardwalk.  OMG IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.  What a great core workout.  I want one of my own :D

But.. this week.  I was sick last week and did not get to start my half marathon training.  Thankfully I'm better now so this week should be better.
