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 31 - Memorial Day 30 Mile Bike

AM Workout: 30 mile bike
Course: Great Kills Park, Early AM
Temp - 72F, Clear, Light Winds

Time for 30 miler: 1:32:06 (19.5 MPH)

It's funny starting a 100 mile ultramarathon peaking cycle with a bike. But with the long mileage on Saturday, this does free up some days for other things other than running. I just have to make sure I do these other things at an easy pace.

Even though the bike and swim will be largely diminished during this peak cycle, they will fill in some gaps, like this one, on weeks where I will be running long. Both the swim and bike are excellent ways to exercise the body without the impact to the legs, so they will still be necessary in this peak cycle.

I'm supposed to do a short run this afternoon, but I also have to be with my family for the annual barbecue this afternoon.
