30 Days and Counting

Less than a month from now Ironman Arizona will be in the books.  I'm going to give one last hard block in training leading up to the race.  The key is to stay healthy!  It seems as if more and more pro's are signing up to race, so if nothing else it will be a good show that they put on.

Yesterday was the second computrainer class at Endure It.  Another "sampler" type of a workout to give people an idea as to what to expect in the coming months.  Tomorrow we will do a much more aerobic set, and I plan on trying to do the set twice with a little added time as well...I'll shoot for 4 hours, so we'll see if that pans out or not.

Yesterday's set was as follows:

Warm Up: 15 minutes
Main Set:
Set #1 - 15 minutes
• 5’ @ 70%
• 4’ @ 80%
• 3’ @ 90%
• 2’ @ AT
• 1’ @ 120%
Drill Set #1 – 12 minutes
2 x through the following
o 1’ right leg (big chain ring)
o 1’ left leg (big chain ring)
o 1’ both legs
o 1’ right leg (big chain ring)
o 1’ left leg (big chain ring)
o 1’ both legs
Set #2 – 15 minutes
• 2’ @ 70%
• 1’ @ 80%
• 2’ @ 70%
• 1’ @ AT
• 3’ @ 80%
• 1’ @ AT
• 3’ @ 90%
• 1’ @ 110%
• 1’ @ AT
Cool Down

Another solid class, and everyone seems motivated to work hard. 

When I got home yesterday my new CycleOps Fluid Trainer had arrived.  I was pumped about that!  So I have it set up, and will take it on it's first ride tonight.  I'm tempted to get my long run in tonight as well, but we'll see how that goes.
