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.

Week of 2/1 - 2/7 - Concentration on Volume

I basically gave January a B-. Some workouts missed due to lack of organization. I will be concentrating a lot more on February.

One of my basic tenets in my life is to break free of my self-imposed limits, to transcend the bounds that both society and I impose on myself. Doing extraordinary races like 100 mile ultras is an expression of of yearning to break free.

I'll often talk about this transcendence in the near future.

As for my training, I love to train and race, but there are some days that I find my motivation lacking. This is where I need to embrace my fitness the most, to get out there and have fun, no matter what life throws at me.

For the mileage this week, I hope to do 6000 meters of swimming, 80 miles of cycling, and 40 miles of running. Most of the workouts are low intensity, but there are 5 key workouts; 2 in the swim, 1 on the bike, and 2 on the run; that will be higher intensity.

Wish me luck.
