Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!

Did not go in to swimming due to my arms and shoulders are waaaayyy to sore! Actually my bad shoulder is acting up and I do not like to swim when it is feeling bad. Though I kindof wish now that I went in...

Updating

Well I am trying to move things over from my other blog to this one so some will have the same date. Like the run was actually done on Friday not today.

Today's workout:


1h ----------


Bike ME
Muscular Endurance
80
WU: 15' - nice smooth spinning.
MS: Then shift into a the big chain ring and into a gear that allows you to spin at about 65-70 RPMs. You will spin 3x15 minutes in this gear - HR should be mid-high Z2 - recovery will be 5' easy between sets - you will probably see HR drift into Z3 - keep the cadence up - this is where you build strength.
CD: 10'



I need to get a little more serious about my training and nutrition. I slacked a little bit on my nutrition today and I missed my 20 min run. But in my defense, I did shovel snow for about 2 hours!

The Food:

Green Smoothie (kale, strawberries, blueberries, pomegranete juice, flax, orange)
3 potato enchiladas
2 pieces of pie
squash seeds
vegan cupcake (again!!)
bbq chips!(why?)

Lets Get Ready to Rumble

Okay lets get a bit more serious....

I am training for Ironman Lake Placid. But before that I am going to do a tune up race in Pomona, NY -- a 1/2 IM!

Today's workout:

1h 10m



Run Base
Endurance
70 min
Run on a flat course or treadmill. Keep HR in Zone 1-2, no higher than the top of Z2.

Got my run in before the snow fell down! Yay

Energy source for today:
Steel Cut Oatmeal with some soymilk, strawberries, flax seed (ground up), and a banana
Leftover coconut Thai pumpkin/potato curry
Potato enchiladas
Beet/collards/cabbage/carrot/apple juice
One cupcake and brownie (vegan of course)
Handful of squash seeds
2 slices of bread

Verdict: Not enough greens today! Definately back on track tomorrow!!
