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 8 - 10 Mile Run and 2000 Meter Swim

AM Workout: 2000 Meter Swim

1x500 Warmup
10x100 Paddles Alt Breathing Left, Right
5x100 Bilateral Breathing
--------------
200 Meters Total

This was an easy session designed to promote breathing on both sides. This in turn strengthens symmetry and a stronger stroke.

PM Workout: !0 Mile Run

Course: From Journal Square (Jersey City) to Staten Island (over Bayonne Bridge)
Time: 1:32:42
Weather: 54F, Sunny, Moderate Winds

I decided to put this run in the afternoon, coming home from business done in Manhattan instead of going toward Manhattan in the morning to take advantage of the mild temps in the afternoon and run in shorts. I had stomach problems at the midpoint of the run and had to duck into a bathroom in a nearby park to heed nature's call. All was settled down afterwards and finished nicely.

I'm a bit tired after the run. I haven't decided yet whether to do a key workout tomorrow; it'll depend on how I wake up tomorrow morning.
