I have been a very bad person…update

I am back.

It’s not that I really left doing my workouts anyway, but more of the fact that I hate typing.  First and foremost, I’d like to report that I have been doing my workouts as faithfully as possible.  On any given week there is 0-2 workouts I might miss out on because of poor planning, but I have been as diligent as possible in keeping up with them.  In fact, I was talking with Alecio this week about our workouts and how tough they are, but we both agreed that having a 10-12 hour workout week is far more preferable to our last IM training consisting of 15+ hours each week of long, endless miles.

Right now my training is taking me into some very strong and high intensity workouts.  My long runs are 13-15 miles and my long rides are 3-4 hours.  2 weeks ago I did 86 on the bike & a 1 hour run.  I really felt like I had my nutrition dialed that whole time.  I had a Powerbar to munch on, and took 3 Powerbar Gel packs and put them in my water.  It was fantastic.

Last week was more of a time trial week in which I would push myself on my swim/bike/run on different days to see how efficient I’ve become.  My most notable improvement was last Sunday on my run.  I was able to run 4.5 miles in 30 minutes and my average HR was 156.   The downside is that I injured my foot with a blister.  Well it was more of a deep cut than a blister.  Because of that, it made so I couldn’t run or bike until Thursday of this week.  In fact, it’s Sunday now and almost 3pm and I still have a long run and swim I need to do.

Well that’s the best I’ve got for now.  I will start to update at least a couple times a week starting this week.

Yours in training,
