Subject: RE: What's your winter training routine? For me, my training plan for Escape from Alcatraz starts Sunday, which is actually a ramp up to start my real training plan for IM Arizona. So I'll be spending alot of time in the pool and on the bike trainer for a while. I may substitute a few spin classes for some of my bike workouts. In your case, if you're going to be super focused on running for now, I'd use your "Cross-training" days for biking and swimming. Also, I find that as long as I have the time, a swim workout does not affect a run workout later in the day for me. So I can swim early am, like 5:30 or 6, then still feel fresh for a run in the afternoon. Are you planning any races of shorter distances before your half? That's an awfully big race to jump into for a first! Good luck!
