But they are only going to get tougher. Since joining Endurance Nation to coach me through my next ironman I have learned what their token term “work works” actually means. This is only the second week of the outseason training and I am already feeling right back in the groove and working harde than I ever did in my training last year.
Last years training was a lot of long and slow and build up longer and slower. The outcome was that I had a great race, finished Ironman CDA with no issues and crossed the finish line with a smile. That was my goal and I accomplished it in just over 14 hours. My goal this year is to shave 2 hours off that time. I believe I can finish an Ironman in 12 hours as long as I become a stronger cyclist. So, I am putting in the work.
Today’s main set on the bike was 3 x 8 minute Z4 with 3 minute recoveries. The first was the hardest, even after a 15 minute warmup with some 1 minute spin ups. Overall, I sweat buckets and feel awesome.
