( training log ) And Today I Did

Saw this on another forum… might turn out to be an interesting post! :slight_smile:

Today is Monday so it’s usually my easiest day of the week. My season is only a week from ending and I’ve only a “C” race to go.

Had my A race yesterday, so today I just had an easy 1h bike scheduled… no swim… no run… but as it was raining like hell outside I decided to do it on the trainer. Easy gear, high cadence while watching my latest DVDrip download… :wink:

How about U?

20x100 in the pool, all at 1:25 with 45 sec recovery. Would have liked to get on the bike for 1hr of high cadence work, but its raining like hell here and it will be dark at about 5:30 anyway. No races left for me this season.

Landed at the SF airport at 5:10 AM, home around 6:00 AM, shower, upload Kona pics, come to work, a large amount of coffee later…

Just back from lunch with Taku, who is here for a conference. So nice to put names and faces together.

Training? Tomorrow.

Slacker! :wink:

Me? it was raining too hard… and the wind… I thought I really needed one more rest day (8 days and counting…)

I slacked off this morning (I’m in my offseason after all), but I got in a 45-minute run at lunch building into a zone 2 pace after a 10-minute slow warmup. Nice way to wake up the senses & get ready for an afternoon in front of the flickering computer :frowning:

Ice on a sore achilles, avoiding going down stairs…saturday was my first Iron-distance…won’t be doing any training until my cut toes heal over. Well, maybe I’ll lift easy at the end of the week.

saturday was my first Iron-distance<<

Congratulations! Details please.

I was in the pool at 6:00 AM and did about 2200 yds. Back to the shop and then off for an hour on the bike easy.

That and some serious stretching were it for today. Picked up Julina (jkallan13 on this forum) at the airport for his bike fit.

Had my first ever open water race on Sunday (1.4km - 4th in AG) which was good fun.

Did a lunchtime swim squad session of 2900m. Was supposed to go for a ride this morning, but the weather’s atrocious so I’m here on the computer.

Tuesday, first day of week 13:

Early squad swim (3k) am

Bike ride, 45 mins easy, pm.

BBq chicken for dinner…mmmm…

Today I had a quick swim during lunch, 1000yds, then a 2 hour bike that started outside and then moved indoors for the second hour cuz of the rain. I watched most of “Undercover Brother” during the ride.

Easy 25mi on the bike. CLA’d my creaking roadbike headset afterward. This after completely disassembling the entire drivetrain, cleaning, lubing, and installing a new SRAM chain. That quicklink or whatever they call it is a revelation! Count me as an SRAM convert. Easy day.

Cathy, the details are in the “Maylene in person…” thread. Don’t want to take up any more bandwidth! Thanks for at least feigning interest :wink: Do you think that’s the first time “feigning” has been used on Slowtwitch?

Walked for about 30 minutes this morning. Rode for about 60 minutes - in the rain - tonight.

Could have done without the rain.

Probably if it was spelt that way, it was.

slow 3 hr run (about 20 mi),TOO DAMN COLD ,38 deg and 20 mph wind,might run a marathon in 2 weeks
.

Recovery day from a 22 miler yesterday. My last long run before the marathon in 3 weeks. It’s taper time!

Today was the swim session of my life !!!

5000 m

200 easy / 4 x50 30sRI

6 x 600 Descending on 3 45sec RI

6 x 150 ( 100 fast 15RI 50 easy 45 RI )

So long but so good at the sametime…so happy I’m feeling prepared for my 1/2 IM in November…

Add another 1250 in the pool for me. just got back. Did an 850 TT ater dropping Julian off at his hotel.

One hour run at pace, about 8:30mpm one hour yoga immediately after. I am training for an ultra so the only bike I am doing lately is my very short commutes to work.
