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 7 - 2000 Meters Swimming, Little Tough Workout

AM Workout: 2000 Meters Swimming

1x500 Warmup
4x200 Intense Aerobic Swims with 30 Seconds Rest (Times of 2:58, 2:32, 2:28, 2:26)
6x100 Easy Paddles - Untimed
1x100 Warmdown
--------
2000 Meters Total

Two days after the Towpath Long Run, this was a nice little intense gem of a workout. Eager to not neglect my swim and bike during the ultra training, I decided to do a miniature tough workout to stoke my shoulders, if just for a little bit.

And the 200 meter swims were great. It certainly would be nice to do 8-10 reps of these, but 4 is good to keep my stroke strong for the time being while saving my energy for my running.
