I've got 4 days before IM training officially starts. JT and I started a bike ride at 5am this morning got a few miles down the road and it started raining so we bagged the ride. It wasn't raining hard but I just didn't feel like it was necessary to be hardcore yet. Plus I had to leave the house at 10am to catch a flight and I wanted to spend a bit more time with the family, so it worked out. But after May1st that workout has to get done...
I was a little under the weather at the beginning of the week. I haven't been eating/resting as well as I should and that's something I've got to get under control. I've been sick too much over the last 2-3 weeks. My "sickness" delayed my HR test but I finally got them done towards the tail end of the week. The tests are actually pretty tough workouts. The results were interesting. As I expected my run & bike Lactate Threshold is pretty high so consequently my HR zones are very high as compared to most. I'm glad that I finally got this "professionally" done and it confirmed what my "raw" test had indicated in the past. When I first got a heart rate monitor I would do the 220- your age thing and try to establish the zones. I could barely jog before I was in zone 3. Anyway, I feel the zones will help me train smarter this year and hopefully produce better results.
I'm in San Jose this week for work so I'll mainly run and do P90x. I'm hoping to get out tomorrow and scope the area for good run routes and maybe find a pool...
Not to much on tap this week workout wise, just enjoying my last few days of triathlon vacation...
