A Glimpse of Reality

I have now completed the first of 28 weeks on my training schedule that have 12 workouts, and to the best of my knowledge it was probably the first time in my life that I've ever completed 12 workouts in one week. Towards the end of the week I could tell that my body was starting to become physically tired because my times were slowing a bit. My hope is that a few more weeks of this will allow me to be used to that level of frequency, and I can begin adjusting to an increased level of volume. Looking back at this week has been a little bit of a reality check for what's to come. Over the next six months I'm really going to be pushing beyond what I've ever done before, and I can expect there will be several bumps in the road. My experience from this week showed me that I need to focus on eating enough to stayed fueled, having variety in my workouts to stay motivated, and getting as much sleep as possible.
