this week in training - Triathlon Week

DOUBLE DOWN · 09-25-2006, 01:29 PM

I'm training for my first Olympic tri in October. I'm using a computer program provided by my coach to log my workouts. 9/18 thru 9/24 looks like:

Weights - 2:00
Bike - 3:25 (60 miles)
Run - 3:30 (14.8 miles)
Swim - 2:00 (2570 meters)
Stretch program - 1:15

12:10 minutes training time this week. That's a personal best so far.

I also swam my first 1600 meters non-stop today in 37:29. I think I'm enjoying the swim training most at this point.

Congrats on your mile. Looks like you're going to have a great race. I'm sure your coach knows what he's doing. Let us know if we can help!

Looks good! You'll be ready for your first Oly for sure!

Ok, so I'm off to do a 20 mile run. Longest I've ever gone, I'm planning on 3:15-20. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm back! Well, I finished the 20 miles in 3:07. I felt pretty good the whole way, did the GU/GAE thing about every 45 minutes. I walked about 5 minutes total and stopped to go to the bathroom (I didn't count that time, but only about 1 minute). I was getting sore at the end though, but that's to be expected. So, about 9:22 per mile. I'm really happy with that, but I'm not sure that'll be my pace for IM. If I do the marathon in less than 5:30, then I'm stoked!
