I have decided that my coach is an internet charlatan.

I wake up this morning... get dressed... make coffee... go outside to get the newspaper.

What a beautiful morning. Wow... Thank god I live in Kentucky, the most beautiful place on earth. I am really looking forward to my bike commute today.

Then I do my normal 6:00am conference call...

Then I look at my training peaks email. WTF!!!! [25 rounds] 30s all out 30s easy... that isnt even a little bit funny. How is that possibly a good idea.

On around the 20th rep I erp up what is left of the raisin bran.. seriously. WTF is he thinking giving this BS workout on a beautiful morning like this.

I dont know... maybe it is time for Endurance Nation?

At least your coach didn't fire you !
"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

+you got off easy.

A few years back I decided not to go to Boise (the year it was really cold). Coach said let's do a 70.3 this weekend since you've been preparing to race this weekend. So 42 laps in a pool, 60 mile ride straight out of the locker room, and a hot 13 mile run, of which last 5 miles I was cramping pretty badly. Gee thanks coach.

I know you're being sarcastic, but EN does plenty of 30/30s, or did at least in the past. It's a pretty common method for VO2 max work.

The wisdom of doing them in the middle of the on-season instead of as part of some sort of other periodization I'll leave between you and your coach.

Age groupers don't need no stinking coach anyway. Just buy yourself a training plan. *pink*

I wasnt being sarcastic... because that would imply a meanness which I don't feel. Just teasing.
