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.

May 5 - 2000 Meters of Swimming

Well, this is different! I woke up anticipating a 80 mile run today. Looked in my log and found that I had to do a 2000 meter swim. What a letdown!

AM Workout: 2000 Meters of Swimming

5x100 Warmup
3x200 Individual Medleys on 4:15 (3:42, 3:45, 3:45)
3x150 freestyle drills with fins (one arm, bilateral, etc.)
3x150 freestyle drills with (one arm, bilateral, etc.)
-----------
2000 meters total

This workout only took about 40 minutes to do. Bummer man, I have 23 hours of free time left. I'll force myself not to try to swim to Martha's Vineyard from Staten Island today by doing some work, although it's going to be hard to resist.

The swim this morning utilizes drills for stroke symmetry as well as a concentration on specialty strokes like butterfly. Because who knows, maybe I might need to butterfly the whole Ironman swim one day.
