I think, there’s a cold front

It’s 10:00 and it’s only 89 degrees.  I hit the road about 6:45, when it was light enough (and I was ready enough) for a 2 hour road ride, it actually felt, cool.  Of course, cool is a relative term when you’re dealing with 107 degrees on a daily basis.  It felt good to go out and hit the open road.  I felt tired at first, and I’ve notice more recently it takes me an hour to w/u.  That can/could be a problem.  After an hour, I felt pretty good, big ring, sprints by a couple of dudes who thought they were ‘fast’ when the passed me.  I waited until this one dude got out of his saddle to make a move and just hammered by him.  With a thought, ‘ like, dude, my heart rate probably hasn’t gone over 110 this whole ride.  I may have brought it up to Zone 3 to pass you, but really I just wanted you to know, you’re really not that fast’.  I guess, that’s kinda mean, but sometimes I get an air of someone when they pass me, and I just like to sneak up on them, and run away.

I’m up for a double cardio workout today.  It’s a tough call, I may save my energy for tomorrow.  I”m excited about meeting a group at Big Cedar.  I”ve never been there, can’t wait.  Going to do 3 + hours in the saddle, I guess I better make sure my bike is ready. 

With no particular place to go it’s tough to stay motivated.

Here’s some fun:

Sample Schedules for a 50k Trail Race

Hard/Medium/Easy Schedule

50k & Marathon Training Schedule (26 weeks)

Recovery Week = These weeks are meant to give your body a rest before pushing into the next mileage phase. Do the week’s workouts at normal training pace; avoid the temptation to run faster.
Taper Week = Tapering is important to allow your body time to recover. Do not over do it during these weeks. Your body will start to feel good and you should start to gain a lot of energy.
Race Week = It is important to recover well during this week. Focus on healthy, high carbohydrate meals.
X-train = Cross-training includes: bicycle, spinning, swimming, pool running, elliptical machine or aerobic style classes at your local gym. This is done at a recovery heart rate of 60% of maximum.

These all look kinda similar, on my laptop I have 3 different one’s saved I’ll provide that data later. 

Can’t wait to see what mine looks like.  Rest assured nothing like anything I found.  Maintaining swim and bike(being Marathon Race Ready) while building for a 50k. 

Anyways, people are waiting.
