Ironman Training Recap - Week Ending Feb. 11

This is my training recap for the week of February 5-11, 2007. All-in-all, a decent week, although I ran very little again due to the sore hamstring. I felt it a little on Tuesday, but decided to go ahead and run Wed. Big mistake. It twinged again, and I was off of running the rest of the week. We'll try again starting next Tues.


Monday, February 5


Planned: Swim - 3000 meters

Workout 1 - Swim 3000 meters

WU: 1 x 500 pull; 100 stroke, 100 kick, 100 EZ
MS: 2 x 250 (30")

5 x 100 (choose challenging interval time, e.g., on 2:00)
50 EZ
10 x 50 (EZ, Mod, Hard)
20 x 25 drill
CD: 1 x 100 pull EZ

Comments: Felt pretty good. I still lose good form after only a few hundred meters straight. Need to make the 100's more challenging. I consistently finished in 1:45.


Tuesday, February 6

Planned: easy 30' run

Workout 1 - 30' Easy Run

WU: 10' easy (~RPE=6)
MS: 15' mod hard (~RPE=7.5)

Comments: Took this one a little too hard to be an "easy" run. Should have backed off. Felt the hamstring twinge a little, but it was only discomfort, not pain. Stretched after.

Workout 1 - 1 hour Computrainer Ride

Workout 2 - 50' Treadmill Run (Stamina)

WU: 15-20’ easing into a base pace where RPE = 6,
MS: Run 2.5’ @ base pace and then 30” cpi (Base pace RPE will increase as you continue this pattern for the remainder of the run. cpi = cruise pace intervals are fast but good form running for 30” intervals.
CD: 5-10' easy


Comments: Tweaked the hammy again today. 30 minutes in, and I was hurting. I'm finished running for the week.
