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 15 - The Aftermath of the 45 Mile Running Gauntlet, Not Bad At All! - 2000 Meter Swim

Note: Before I get into the swim workout this morning, I'm pretty pleased to report that my legs feel OK. Yes, they are a little stiff and do feel worked. But they are not sore, which means I didn't overtrain. Yes, my legs are a bit tired, but it's good to know that I should be almost fully recovered by Sunday for the 20 mile run.

Now on to the swim this morning:

AM Workout: 2000 Meters of Swimming

1x500 Warmup
4x150 kicking drills with kickboard
4x100 kicking drills without kickboard
5x100 catch-up freestyle drills
-------
2000 meters total

This workout was mostly to help my legs recover. I did mostly some easy kicking drills today to keep my legs supple. Nothing too bad here; it's great to get into the pool sometimes and just enjoy some easy swimming. Especially after a rewarding finish to some hard training the past 3 days. :-)

Weekly totals so far:

Swim: 2000 meters
Bike: 0 miles (will start tomorrow, only doing 40 miles this week)
Run: 45 miles
