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.

June 3 - Preamble to the Towpath Run - 3500 Meter Swim and 5 Mile Run

First AM Workout: 3500 meters of swimming

800 Meters Warmup
3x500 Meter Swims - Low Intensity (8:04, 8:06, 8:10)
5x100 Meters Freestyle w/ Paddles - Untimed, Easy
1x200 Individual Medley (3:28)
5x100 Warmdown
--------
3500 Meters Total

Nothing big here. With the ultra coming up, all swims and bikes will be low intensity. I didn't push the 500s or the IM to save up energy for where I'll need it, the long run on Saturday.

Second AM Workout: 5 Mile Run

Course: Great Kills Park
Time: 44:10 (8:50 min/mile pace)
Weather: 76F, Light Winds, Very Humid

The run was easy...the only thing to note about this run was the weather. It didn't affect my run much, but I was well aware of the humid conditions. Made it a little uncomfortable. Otherwise no problem. This was my last run before the long run on the Towpath
