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.

200 Days to Vermont 100 Mile Ultra - 5 mile run on treadmill

It is a windtunnel out here in NY today. When you have to fight with your car to stay in your lane, you know how strong the wind is. And it is also 22 degrees out. The wind chill is probably on the south side of 0 degrees. So I find myself going to the YMCA anyway to do a shorter run than is originally planned (I did do a 30 mile bike in the morning; coupling that with a 10 mile run is definitely not advisable at this point).

Up onto the treadmill for a very easy 5 mile run. Set to 10 minutes per mile. I can do 9 minutes per mile comfortably, but set it to 10 to make sure this was an easy low intensity run. And ran for 50 minutes. I felt good and loose, thanks to the bike workout in the AM and finished strong.

The criticals for this run: 5 miles on treadmill, 0% gradient. Total time 50 minutes (10 minutes per mile). The totals for the week are 2200m swim, 30 miles bike and 10 miles of running.

Tomorrow is another frigid day. I'm going to have to play it by ear as to what I want to do tomorrow.
