Although the Ironman training has gone pretty well so far, I still have a hell of a long way to go. After missing most of last week due to travel, I have felt flat and sluggish all week. Today we ran 20. The first 3 were at 8:30, the next 4 or so were at around 8, then back to 8:30 with the last mile at about 8 or so.
My goal this week has been to get my mileage up and not get injured so my runs have been at low intensity (10m, 11m, 20m, 5m). I will log 45+ run miles this week, quite a few for these old legs. I will and get in a big bike week next week, 200 miles if all goes as planned. My swim needs a lot of work but swimming in the morning with the masters group at North County will begin to pay off this month (only 6700 yds this week).
Next week I will back down my run mileage and mix in some speed work.
