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 8 - 5 Mile Easy Recovery Run

PM Workout: 5 Mile Run - Zone 1 Easy Recovery

Course: South Avenue (slightly hilly)
Time: 46:31 (9:18 min/mile pace)
Temperature: 34F

When finished with a hard swim workout in the morning and facing a hard cycling workout tomorrow morning, an easy run is definitely needed. A good recovery run doesn't tax you; if properly executed, you should be quite energized at the end of the recovery run. Save your energy for when it counts. In my case, the 40 mile bike is planned for tomorrow. Waking up energetic and ready to go is my goal here, so that I can blast this workout and get the most benefit out of it.
