First Triple of the Season
The first triple workout in one day came yesterday. It started with a 40-minute run in the morning, followed by a strength workout at noon and then a 2K swim after work. I should've done the swim at lunch and the strength workout after work, as my arms felt really stiff for the first 15 minutes. But that would be way too much driving back and forth and it wasn't really that bad once the arms loosened up. Stacy Pool was nice at 82 degrees and not too crowded and the sun setting as I finished the 2K. The pecs are a little sore this morning but nothing painful. It just feels like I had a great workout yesterday.
I've decided to follow Troy Jacobson's plan, "12 weeks to an Olympic-distance PR" printed in Triathlete Magazine in the Feb/March/April issues. I'm not following it to the letter, as I'm still a big fan of Mark Allen's training philosophies. So it's a mixture of both. And can you really follow any training program to the letter? I mean there's weather issues, other engagements, work, family and there will be days I just want to cycle to work where a 30-mile bike workout is not in the plan. Or it's the perfect day to run at the lake. So it's a plan, with philosophies that can change at any minute or on a whim.
