OK - this blog is only 14 days since the last post. A little better than 17 days. I will do my best to try and update at least once a week. I can't even use the holidays as an excuse as I was only home for 5 days and had computer with me. But I can say the holidays have not effected training. Now the weather has not been the best. It has pretty much been cold and windy almost every day for the past two weeks. I believe we had one day where it hit 50 degrees but the rest have been around freezing or less.
Training has been consistently averaging 60-65 miles per week with the two workouts per week. This year has also got of to a good start with 57 miles of running in the first 6 days. My plan is ti be 65-70 miles per week with two workouts per week and a long run every two weeks. My plan is to keep long runs in the 12-14 mile range for now. At this time, I think I am going to focus more on the 5-10K distance this year and try to have my first healthy racing year in almost 5 years. If this year goes well then I will consider moving up in distance. My other goals are too utilize my mountain bike more and get back in the pool and work on swim technique again. I still have a desire to venture back into some sprint distance triathlons.
The last 3 track workouts:
1. 4 x 1600 @ Tempo (5:44) with 2:00 recovery + 4 x 200 @ 37 with 200 jog
2. 2 x (8 x 400) @ 3K pace (78-79 per 400) with 70-75 second recover
3. 7 x 1000 @ Tempo (3:37-38) with 60-70 second recovery
This has been the first time in several years that I have been this consistent with workouts. Next workout is friday, then plan to get a 12 miler over the week. So far this week, 28 miles in 3 days so well on way to goal of 65-70.
Here is to a big 2010 of racing!
Now just have to set schedule.
