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.

T-195 Days to VT 100 Mile Ultra - 3000m swim

Wednesday December 23, 2009"

With temps at 18 degrees F, I nixed the run again and went to the pool to swim (as a triathlete I'm glad I have disciplines to fall back on when the weather gets bad). Some pretty good distance sets planned here.

500 meter warmup to get started

1x1000 meter swim. Time 15:45, Not bad but needs improvement. Water was very hot today and did have a factor in the time.

5x200 easy swim and kicking with fins. Good to smooth out the stroke.

2x200 IMs on 4:30. Times for both? 3:34 each. Could have been faster.

1x100 warmdown.

Not the best workout but it did point to me where my weaknesses are.

I'm pretty much falling behind on the week. I'll have to see whether doubling up is needed or maybe omit some training for the rest of the week.
