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.
