Race simulation - start with a 20' warmup very easy. Then you are going to bike 40' at IM Pace (mid Z2) and 20' at 1/2 IM pace (high Z2)- and you are going to do this twice. Once again 40/20 - 2x. Go right into 2nd brick.

This ride was twice around the Celina Loop. I used a HR of 135 as my IM pace and 140 as my HIM pace.

Run 9k in Zone 1-2 before the ride. AFTER the ride you are going to run 9k at 3 different paces. 3k fast/3k faster/3k fastest! Let's see you crank it up!

I am so anal about distances that I took my mountain bike to Celina also. I used it to measure the distance on the running trail. The longer loop is 1.2 miles and there is a shorter loop that is .7 miles. I did not do the full 9K for each session because I flat out did not feel like running that far. By the time I got to the last run, it was around 90 degrees. I guess it will be good practice for a potentially hot day in Austin.

Race Specific
50
10 minute warm-up, start out slowly and build to Zone 2, after 7 minutes do 4x30 second accelerations building each repeat faster. Take at least 1:00 between each to recover and prepare yourself for the next acceleration.

Main set is 3 x 5 minutes at LT, #1 should have you ending your 5 minutes at just about mid-Zone 3. #2 should see you finishing right at Zone 4a. #3 should have you finishing right at Z5. Between repeats you will get a rest interval of 3 minutes. The 3 minutes should be easy enough to allow your heart rate to come back down to Zone 2.

After your 3rd repeat you will run a 10 minute cool down and stretch for at least 10 minutes.

Run on rolling course - start by keeping HR in Zone 1-2 during 30' warm-up and then go to 3x20' at Z3 - with 5' Z2 for recovery. Keep the rest of the run no higher than the top of Z2.

Nothing like a 15 mile run to get ya going on a Sunday morning. I did this after the session of running drills. I just knew I would run into a fellow BTer so I kept looking around. Finally as I was doing my cooldown, I saw someone that could be Ashley. But, I had only met her once before so you know how it is. Should I say something, should I not. I guess my Hawkeye hat was a give away, or she is more confident with her memory than me, but she said something and we talked for about 5 minutes.
