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.

March 1 - Finishing up with an 8 mile run and 1600 meter swim

AM Workout #2 - 8 mile run

Course: Boardwalk
Time: 1:16:49 (9:36 min/mile pace)
Weather: 42F, moderately windy

This was a nice easy run late in the morning after the early morning swim. The snow and puddles made for a pretty sloppy run.I felt pretty refreshed throughout with the easy pace. It was unusual to see plenty of other runners at this time, but it was nice to have their company.
-------------------

PM Workout: 1600 meters of swimming (easy)

1x500 Warmup
1x1000 easy freestyle with fins - bilateral breathing
1x100 warmdown
-------
1600 meters total

I didn't have to do this workout today, but on a whim I decided to go back to the pool tonight and work easily on my stroke. My arms were not that tired from the early morning workout; everything felt fine. Combining the 2 swim sessions, I did 4600 meters of swimming total. Not a bad start to the week!
