offseason training
Time to get back to BASE-ics. That is with training at least. Im finding it difficult to deal with the sun setting at 5 o clock every day. It really messes with my time. But for now I am working around it. Registered for my almost last semester at St. Edwards and realized that I will only have class tuesday and thursday, HOW AWESOME!!! The only problem is I wont have any training time on those days, but Im sure James and I can work it out. I am really wanting to focus on long-distance running this winter. I ran an hour today after about an hour swim and hour bike and averaged a heart rate of 164 running at what I think was 6:30 pace. That is just sad. How could it be so high after all the training I have put in? IDK but it tells me I need to put in quantity which I think I am going to start doing. However I do remind myself that I have racked up 8 months worth of running injuries in the two years since I started triathlon so I guess I really have only had 16 months plus however long I ran in college and afterwards for recreation. Sooo to run an hour at an easy pace and not feel tired is pretty good, right??? AAAAAAAnyways this is my first post so read it AND WRITE COMMENTS, it will make me feel really good.

The shorter days definitely give you less time to get out but don't you find the cooler weather makes it easier to do your workouts? Less sweat, faster pace, no??!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that the weather conditions are not as important as the lighting conditions. I can always have some system to deal with weather, I cannot deal with a lack of sunlight
