Training Log: Dos Super

Running 20:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Nimbus 10 Yellow

20 minutes with the benner who bricked the workout to kick off tri season preparations. I just ran hoping to round out my week to 5 hours but I also learned a lot about issac newt-man and apples and the passion of the olympians that ben had never felt before but experienced on the run. Totally, completely awesome and a great way to end a day which had the inauspicious start that consisted of me putting my undewear on backwards without noticing it till after my first coffee.

Note

This I can use.

Running long 2:00:00 [2] 20 km (6:00 / km)
ahr:161 max:181 shoes: crosslites III

Long run on the my old fave the ITT course. Out and back, about 2 or 3 minutes faster on the way back. Enjoyed a clif bar on the return trip one teeny bite at a time to try out something I read in a triathlon magazine that my wife gets. Worked good, tasted gooder. One day I'm going to bring a cheeseburger. I've never run a marathon in which I wouldn't have sold my soul for a cheeseburger at some point or another. In this and many other ways I'm just like Elvis but way more fetching in any kind of pantsuit.

Ran in shorts (5 degrees) which was only distressing right at the start and when the ice pellets began to fall 40 minutes in. Whoever suggested ice pellets is nothing like the king.

Splits, for the fans.

Strength 20:00 [2]

Pilates and some additional strength/stretch work. More of a triumph than you might think.

Note

Who says all news is bad news? Not me. Apparently I'm like a coiled spring that can store and resuse energy. I'd always suspected it but now it's real.

Running warm up/down 35:00 [3] 5 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: crosslites III

Into and out of the waterdown/grindstone creek section of the bruce. Afterwards I saw some idiots self selecting by riding their skateboards down waterdown road. I looked up when one car honked/braked/avoided the first idiot and was watching when the second idiot hit a pebble, stopped dead on one side of the road, flew off and forward and came to an idiotic rest in the dirt on the other side of the road. He's lucky not to have been killed. The rest of the world will just have to endure. Idiot.

Running 15:00 [3] 1.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
shoes: crosslites III

4.5 hill repeats on a particulalry insane part of the bruce trail. I promised myself 3. I went for a 6k walk today. That's why this was so painful and also why I felt so out of shape.

Running 45:00 [2] 9 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Nimbus 10 Yellow

roadie on a nice day. I wore a t shirt and shorts and, just for fun, sunglasses. Tried a few intervals but wasn't feeling it at all. Sore from the blast.
