Training Log and Athletic Adventures
My training goals remain the same all year: 7-9 hours of cardio (running, biking, elliptical, rowing and stair stepping) (30 to 40 miles running and up to 30 miles biking per week)........hot yoga??? times a month.... 1.5 to 2.0 hours of weight training per week.......core trainig 2-4 times per week.........my long run training occurs every other Friday....16, 18, 20, 22, 24 mile increments.........5.24.11 update-from September 2010 until April 2011, I added swimming into my training program on a weekly basis. I have not learned learned how to swim, I discovered I don't like swimming and being cold all the time and decided to drop swimming from my training and to perhaps pick it up at a later time. For now, I am oh so driven and fueled with running, weights and cycling ;p.
I am also a fan of the concept of "barefoot running" although I am not a barefoot runner. I recently purchased a pair of Merrell-minimalist shoes and will be switching over to them permanently in about 90 days. For the time being, I am working out in them on my shorter training days and building up to using them on all training days- Update November 2011-the Merrell's didn't work out as well as I had hoped the would because I actually need support for my "flat" feet. However, they are working out exceptionally well for my cycling, RR.
