Weekly Review- Karl (3/16-3/22/09)

Monday Strength and Balance Workout

Tuesday 1 hour swim interval workout; 1 hour run interval session

Wednesday 1 hour bike interval session

Thursday 1 hour swim workout; 30 minute run with accel. pick ups

Friday  1 hour small chain ring bike workout

Saturday 2:15 hours long run (14.47 miles)

Sunday 4 hours bike ride

Endurance continues to build. I’m trying to stay true to the zone 1-3 training zones. Has been difficult not to go into Zone 4-5 at times.

Recovering really well (none to very little soreness), but I did feel fatigued later in the day from yesterday’s long run. Today’s 4 hour bike trainer session was really tough for the final hour.

This coming week is a recovery week. Training volume drops by nearly 50%. I have to travel on Tuesday and Wednesday, so it may be difficult for me to get those sessions in. The rest will probably do me more good in the long run.

Congratulations to Dino and Claude on their 10k races. Those guys are really building their endurance AND speed quickly. I’m excited for their upcoming Derby 1/2 and full marathons.

Hope the rest of you are doing well. Would enjoy hearing about your training and/or yearly goals.

Kia Kaha!  -Karl
