10 Weeks To Go
In the past I had done a small number of my training sessions early in the morning before work, and then a second one later that evening. With ten weeks to go almost every day is now a split training session. I'm getting up at 4am each morning during the week and doing either a run through the neighborhood, or riding my bike indoors on the computrainer. Depending on which one I do in the morning, my evening session is either biking indoors or swimming at the gym. I've tried to keep the majority of my runs early in the morning to avoid the heat, but I still seem to get hit pretty hard with the humidity. I've also limited my outdoor bike riding to the weekends when I have more time, and to take advantage of a few group rides. The temperatures will probably start to change in the next few weeks so I might do some of my runs in the evening soon. Until then I'm just trying to buckle down and get as many quality workouts in as I can. I still feel a little under-prepared for what I need to accomplish, but hopefully my confidence will grow in the coming weeks. I have my half ironman race coming up and several weekends of very long bike distances ahead, so I'm looking forward to seeing some improvement.

You just eat more and the training will take care of itself.
ReplyDeleteThe cool-down should start next week. At least for my marathon training evening runs I hope it does!
