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.

April 14 - KEY WORKOUT: Finishing The Trifecta

AM Workout:

KEY WORKOUT: 15 Mile Run (Ultra Style: intervals of 8 minutes running/2 minutes walking)

Course: Mall Run (partial route here)
Total Time, including walking: 2:17:44
Projected Time, as if entire course was run: 2:03:44
Weather: 43F, Clear, Light Winds

This was the coldest run of the three, and had to put on a light jacket to keep warm. The run felt OK, although there were times when I felt a little "punch drunk". The pace was consistent with the previous 2 runs.

Overall, this series was successful! I couldn't have asked for better results. As for the rest of the week, I'll have about 3 days of relatively low mileage running along with some swimming and cycling and will be planning for Sunday's 20 mile mountain run in Bear Mountain State Park. I already have the trail map in front of me. :-)
