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.

February 5 - 2100 Meter Swim and Six Mile Run

Easy Day today. Tomorrow is a 10 Mile Run. Need to be ready for it.

AM Workout: 2100 Meter Swim

500 Meter Warmup;

4x50 Fly on 1:20, immediately into (no rest); 4x50 Back on 1:20, immediately into (no rest); 4x50 Breast on 1:20, immediately into (no rest); 4x50 Free on 1:20.

4x100 easy freestyle w/ no paddles (easy, not timed).

4x100 freestyle with fins (easy, not timed).

The butterfly is perhaps the toughest stroke. For me to do 4 of these butterfly reps was not easy. I held 38 seconds until the last set, where I fell aprat and came in at 41 seconds. All sets of the backstroke were 39 seconds. The breaststroke sets were 41-42 seconds, and the freestyle sets were 34-35 seconds. Pretty good sets. Look for more butterfly sets in the future; not because I like to torture myself, but those will make me a faster swimmer in freestyle.

PM Workout: 6 Mile Run through Travis (flat)

Time: 57:45

Very mindful of the 10 miler coming up in 12 hours, I really kept this easy today, doing around 9:37 intervals.

Note: A snowstorm is threatening the entire east coast including my area. If this is the case, I will have to postpone the run until Sunday.
