Coach P,
Wanted to see if I can speak with you via cell in the next week. I want to run some issues I'm having that I'd communicated via the forum several months ago. I did the OS plan and it was going well and in the last month or so, my workouts have gone to heck and I'm struggling through them. This is to the point that I'm wondering if there's something medical related that I need to get checked again. I was going to schedule a appointment at an allergist to see if I am having lung capacity issues related to asthma or just have reduced lung capacity due to bronchitis I'd had a couple of years ago. I am struggling through rides and runs (runs especially), I just feel burning legs and exhaustion, tight breathing. Overall, I feel in decent shape, also doing strength training once a week. Btw, I am 44 and have done 2 IM before and numerous other tris, runs and centuries.
My sleep is okay, diet I think is okay, but I can't figure things out and am in a spiral. I am just wondering also if I should go to a local coach in the Los Angeles area such as coach garreth, or Phase IV for VO2 testing and blood lactate testing, but am not sure about the cost or if this is the right thing. I was thinking id try my doctor again, b/c at least insurance covers it.
Anyways, I just need to determine what to do as I am signed up for IM Arizona and am having major doubts I can do it. If you have thoughts, please advise, otherwise, I'd like to call to discuss.
