Week 13 Training Thread
OK, here we go, onward in to week 13. The days only get longer and harder from here. A couple changes in store for us this week are a jump from 1x15 & 1x10 @Z4 to 2X20 @ z4 for the wednesday bike. The thursday long run is not 2 hours, and the saturday long ride is now set at 5hrs. Also, all the swim workouts are pushing 4k(yds/meters) per workout. On a personal note, i have Boulder 70.3 on saturday so i will do my normal workouts on M, Tue. I will reduce the duration of the Z4 work on the wednesday bike. I will drop my long run down to 60min and friday will be a short swim and a 30 min Z1 run with a couple pick-ups. Sunday will most likely be a rest day. Remember, to take things one day at a time and know that each workout creates a new layer of fitness and over time those layers add up and create the performance you will have on race day. Go get it, everyone!

Hey Folks,
I'm travelling for work this week so it's been challenging so far. I did mange to get the swims and runs in this week. Though the swims were odd as the pool at the hotel was a bit shorter than 25yards... So I did a little estimation based on time. Got em in though... I'm switching Wed WO's and Thursday WO's. Did the Thursday long run this AM very early. Always nice to run a Half Marathon before breakfast. :-) Heading back home in the morning so I hope to get Wednesday's bike and run in tomorrow afternoon. We'll see how that goes.
Hope everyone is doing well. It's getting close!

I'm back at it... Still a little fatigued but finally getting to a mental place where I want to work. I'll hit most of the WO's this week. It's supposed to be 90 todayhere in KC... So that'll make for a nice long run. Coach P wants me only working z1 for another week because my HR's still a little elevated... We'll see what happens...
