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 February 22 - 28 - Focus on Swimming

This is the last of the current 4 week cycle. The way things are going, the next mesocycle will be much higher in volume.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. This last week will be focused on swimming. Swimming basically was kept on the back burner last week, which was largely by design but also with an injured shoulder mixed in. The shoulder is recovered enough for some good workouts and it's full speed ahead!

The target mileage for the 3 disciplines.

8000 Meters of Swimming
80 Miles of Cycling
35 Miles of Running

Running takes the back seat here, after going 50 miles last week.

The Key Workouts are as follows: 2 Key Workouts for Swimming, 1 Key Workout for Cycling, and 1 Key Workout for Running (4 in all).

The Key Workouts are the following:

1) Swim - 3x800 meters of swimming with 1 minute rest in between.
2) Swim - 10x100 Individual Medleys (Fly, Back, Breast, Free) on 2:30.
3) Bike - 26 Miles on the Computrainer, Columbia Course, Wattage over 210.
4) Run - 8 Miles over Bayonne Bridge, Zone 2 hard aerobic pace.

On paper, this seems to be a slightly easier week than this past week. But, who knows?

Note: I am currently working on some pages that will show on charts the overview of my training. That should make it easier to follow along and see how I design my training plans. I am crossing my fingers and hope to have it up by this week.
