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 9 - Pre-Storm Training - 2000 Meter Swim and 6 Mile Run

AM Workout: 2000 meters of swimming

1x500 Warmup
12x100 kicks with fins special (fly, back, breast, free) untimed
1x300 Warmdown
---------------
2000 meters total

My arms felt a little tired from the 1000 meter sets yesterday, so I knew this needed to be easy. I focused primarily on my kicks, making sure I don't overextend myself in the process.

---------------------------------------
PM Workout: 6 miles of running

Course: Mall Run (slightly hilly)
Temp: 32F
Time: 54:51 (9:08 pace)

Another easy, enjoyable run. Of all 3 disciplines, it is the run that I enjoy most when I'm doing well with it. I just look forward to them. The feeling of being outside, being free, being away from the daily distractions is just intoxicating. :-)

Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I hope to sneak out early tomorrow morning and get 5 miles or running in before the full brunt of the blizzard hits. The 40 mile Computrainer ride is definitely on the schedule also. The course assigned to the Computrainer is the Buffalo Springs Lake Triathlon course, a pretty hilly affair.
