Still getting use to early morning wakeups. After going into offseason mode in mid October, I have been sleeping in. One of the mental breaks I can take. But now it's time to get back to getting up early and getting the workout in. Usually the AM workouts are a necessity but my current client is 3 miles from my gym so I have the luxury of working out at lunch if need to. But I don't want to start relying on that b/c anything can come up at work and I could miss the workout. So it's best to get it done first thing in the morning......b/c I usually have a PM workout as well. Fridays will usually consist of an AM swim w/ strength training in the PM......and is usually a recovery day. These will become crucial in later part of the training when intensity during the week increases. Today consisted of:
2700 meter swim in the AM
1.5 mile warmup and some leg and lat strength training.
Coeur d'Alene will be my 5th Ironman. After completing the previous 4, I've written a race recap that detailed my experience racing a 11+ hour, 140.6 mile Triathlon. However, the race is the easy part. The training is where the commitment and dedication lies. This blog will detail my journey through the next 6 months as I prepare for Ironman Coeur d'Alene...including the progression of the workouts, nutrition, and the challenges of day to day life has on IM Training.
