Long Run - steady state

Beautiful morning for a run. Ran out and back on Teel. Started slowly and built my pace to 8'/mi. Felt comfortable running at 8'. Nothing too exciting about this run other than I was happy to be out in nice weather. The sunrise was beautiful.

Peak Week BT 1

Ride in steady state HR. Last 15' in tempo HR. Go right into the run.

Nice evening for a ride. Thourghly enjoyed pushing the pace after spending so many months and miles time in my steady zone. Rode to Celina and back. Did a 20' tempo interval on the way out and a 20' tempo interval on the way back. Last 20' was in interval zone. Great ride. I like these BT workouts.

Run
  • 30m 07s
  • 3.67 miles
  • 08m 12s /Mi

Peak Week BT 1

Run off the bike. Start easy in steady state pace. Build to finish at tempo pace.

Great run. Probably started a little to fast. Need to keep that pace in check early on. The last 15' was all tempo and interval pace.

Ready.

  • 17.44 miles

Recovery

Easy ride after the swim. Led the middle group. Hung back with some of our newest members to make sure they didn't get lost. Nice ride.

I picked up a coaching client beginning this week.  He's training for the US Open.


Tonight Michele was looking over my shoulder at my BT blog.  She saw the 3 Ironman logos in my blog.  Then she asked why Buffalo Springs wasn't there.  I said not an A race.  Then it hit her: "That's 4 Ironman races this year.  No wonder we're broke."  Just wait until after IMKY when I start serious bike shopping.  Wink
