Week 24-25: Bricks and Tempos.

July 7th, 2007 · 1 Comment

2 weeks of solid training. I managed 4 “high quality” workouts and feel great for once.
Last Saturday I managed to do a brick session with Cody which included a 3:00 hour ride followed buy a 30 minute run. During the run it felt very easy we were running slow mind you at 4:20/km pace but still I felt like I could run forever. I only took in one gel shot over 3.5 hours and felt no fatigue which was cool (very easy pace was the reason I guess).

The last 2 weeks I also managed a couple of short tempo runs of 25 and 35 minutes within a 50 minute run this was my first tempo workouts in at least 6 months. It’s weird how tempos (for me anyways) boost my fitness faster than any other workout.

But now I am off to Europe for 16 days I am bringing my running shoes and plan on running most days. I also plan on seeing a stage of the Tour so I am very excited about this trip.

    3 hour run – eeck! I wouldn’t mind the 30 min run – but 3 hours on a bike would have me begging for my life.

    Enjoy Europe!
