Starting my Blog

Well I am finally posting in my new blog.  Not really sure what to write since I am not really sure who the audience is.  If you have found me on here seems congrats. 


I guess I can talk about my training for a bit.  I enjoy reading other athletes training schedules and plans.  Although mine may be not as exciting as say Simon's, Jordan's or Zack's Blogs, whom I am all a big fan of reading about there training.   Unlike all of the names listed above I don't have very much time to train, 10-15 hours a week , so I try and make up for my lack of volume with intensity.  Not always the best idea.  So do as I say, not as I do!   I also train alone for nearly all of my workouts, although I have joined a masters group of some older guys who don't look like athletes at all but destroy me in the pool. (not that that is that hard.)  And when I mean destroy, I really mean destroy!  Although it is making me faster. 


  Through out the winter a goal of mine was to improve my swimming by swimming more. (that is a pretty novel idea.)  Also another goal is to try and bike 4-5 hours a week, ideally two rides of 1:15 and a long ride of 2:30.  Pretty impressive!  I read Zack's blogs and he rides more in a week than I ride in a month.  Yikes!   The other goal is to improve my running, mainly by staying health.   That worked for the first part of the winter, but recently I have been struggling with numberous minor injuries.  I guess that is what I get for not stretching.   I have really been running like crap the past few year. 


Well if anyone reading this has anything they would like me to talk about let me know.  I am game for anything.


 

Got something to say?
