Run about 10-12 miles a week, walk 3-4 miles, sometimes more. Free weights for chest and arms.
Eat whatever, but very little fast food.

It's amazing how cutting out regular sources of sugar in your diet can make such a huge difference to your health.

Hooray for being young.

Diet includes TONS of water (about 150 ounces per day) alot of fruit and vegetables during the day with alot of attention to not wasteless processed carbs. For dinner, I usually eat whatever the wife cooks and really not very picky but if if is unhealthy I just eat less (spaghetti, tacos, etc.)

What app are you using there? It looks to be a good one.

Its the training log on BeginnerTriathlete.com. It's free to use and what I like about it the most is that it tracks monthly and yearly totals. It also lets me add alot of things (cross training, skiing, etc) if I wanted to.

I joined Planet Fitness last week. I am still working on what my routine will be. I am an old guy and not looking to bulk, just be healthy.

Walk 30-90 minutes per day.

4444, how in the world do you run that many days in a row? Awesome. Recovering from 2 meniscus surgeries with the last PT session (hopefully) being Friday. You've done a full IM, am I correct?

I strongly believe in the theory of adding mileage by adding the amount of runs (in shorter distances) rather than JUST adding miles to existing runs. Most of my midweek runs are between 2- 5 miles and as I get further into the year I will have more 6-8 milers in there, but right now I can get to 6 miles a day with two 3 mile runs just as easy and give myself 8+ hours between them to recover.
Right now, I am about 30 miles a week and my long runs will slowly increase in distance. So rather than jumping too quickly to long runs and risking injury I take the approach of adding a 2 mile run here or a 3 mile run there when I have the time. Almost all of them are at my long run or easy run pace.
Take yesterday for example. I ran three miles (on the treadmill) at an easy (9:00) pace before my masters swim workout, then I swam. Last night I did a track workout that consisted of three 400s, three 800s and three 300s with a .5 mi warm up and .5 mi cool down.
So, in total I ran about 7.5 miles yesterday, but 3 of those miles were at a 6:10-6:20 pace during my interval and the rest was between an 8:30-9:00.
Today, I took off this morning but I will go home and ride on my bike trainer for an hour, then hop off and run two miles. During those two miles I will do 4 x .25 mi race effort intervals.
My week focuses on three major components:
1- zone 2 endurance miles (long runs or rides)
2- zone 3 Half and Full and Ironman specific effort intervals (tempo runs or rides)
3- zone 4/5 which is built on increasing my VO2 Max, cardiovascular capacity and push my aerobic ceiling
I think a big mistake too many people make is trying to increase their mileage and efforts but cramming them in two only a couple of runs per week. If done at the right effort and intensity, running, cycling and swimming can all be used as recovery sessions.
