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 5 - Key Workout - 10 Mile Run, Coming Along Nicely

AM Workout:

Key Workout: 10 Mile Distance Run Intense Aerobic (Zone 2)
Course: Mall Run (slightly hilly)
Time: 1:20:19 (8:02 min/mile pace)
Weather: Cloudy, 37F, Light Winds

With the rest day yesterday I decided I was strong enough to tackle the toughest run workout this week. I had some breathing problems in the beginning, due to some congestion in my airways, but things stabilized and felt pretty good in the second half of the run. The 8 minute miles are pretty legitimate now, since I'm now clocking them consistently on these tough runs.

As for the week, with the impromptu day off yesterday, I am just a little behind on finishing everything by Sunday. I should be OK though because the only tough workout left on my list is the swim distance set; that should be done tomorrow morning if everything is OK. I've done 6000 meters of swimming, 50 miles of cycling, and 26 miles of running so far this week. I shouldn't have any reason finishing them all up by Sunday.
