Wednesday: I had a 45 minute run with 12x1 minute sprints. First set of those in a long time and it felt good to just be able to run fast and really get my heart rate up there. I always feel like an idiot doing sprints cuz I feel funny trying to do it but man do they help you get faster. I was actually riding alongside a father/daughter on one of those random bikes and the girl would say hello to me every time they passed me on a recovery minute. haha, made me smile.
Thursday is BRICK DAY. I had my softball game get cancelled due to the rain so I was able to really push today which was nice. I had a 1:30 bike/30 minute run. My bike got a little dice-y around 5pm with all of the traffic in and around verona. My run was extremely fast, I averaged about 6:30 min/mile pace which is really great.
I read this article today about increasing my marathon time following the swim/bike during my Ironman. Interestingly enough, it's all about volume volume volume on the bike so hopefully my training program is doing it right. http://home.trainingpeaks.com/blog/article/how-to-nail-the-ironman-marathon
This weeks training has been difficult with the amount of storms and rain we have been getting. Verona actually had a tornado come through the town and I hear there was some significant damage along the course but no deaths. Crazy what mother nature can do.
Finally, a great quote that I have been repeating to myself lately: "Good things come to those who work there assess off and never give up."
