I will be using this blog to schedule group runs, seminars, and workouts for all my athletes and other people interested in doing the ultra. I will also be using this blog to document my training for the 2010 Vermont 100 Mile Ultramarathon. For official articles, please visit my other blog at http://coachjoegold.blogspot.com.

April 7 - KEY WORKOUT: 4000 Meters of Swimming

AM Workout:

KEY WORKOUT: 4000 meters of swimming.

4x200 Warmup
5x400 freestyle with 1 minute rest in between reps
8x100 snorkels (easy, untimed drills for stroke symmetry)
2x50 all out sprints on 2:15 with an easy 50 meter swim in between reps
1x200 Warmdown
---------
4000 meters swimming total

This was a very strong workout. The 400s were just exceptional, with times for the 5 sets being 5:47, 5:49, 5:47, 5:45, and 5:44 respectively. The other notable in today's swim were the sprints, with 33 seconds and 34 seconds respectively. I hope to see this when I swim 4000 meters later this week as well.

I was an animal in the water today! Hopefully I'll do it again later this week.

(Key Workout 2 of 4 done this week)

Weekly totals so far:

6000 meters swimming
21 miles cycling
0 miles running
