One month into the new training cycle, feeling excellent, and thinking that I'm right where I want to be. Coming up Sunday Husky Dawg Dash 10K. Hoping to beat last years time, we'll know soon enough. This past week actually had less total time for 14 workouts but feeling really energetic right now. I'm excited to continue on this path and don't want to have any interruptions. However November and December I've got a couple of trips out of town so I'll have to make some adjustments.
This past week's training had one really long swim session, 4150 yds in 2:15 minutes. Master's continue to challenge me at every workout. Total workout time 15 hours, 14 sessions. Swim 5.25 mi. 5:45; bike 62 mi. 3:45; run 6.25 mi. 1:20; 73.5 mi. 10:50; yoga and weights 4:10 min.
Last note, weight has been holding at mid 180s, up from 180 or less during summer. I think this is a combination of increased weight training, yoga, and also creatine and amino supplements, pre and post recovery drinks. Workout calories out about 8050, 575 per workout. Average calories in about 2200 per day. BMR about 1700 per day. 2200-1700/-575= -75 per day. So pretty much a wash. Conclusion, assuming calculations are accurate estimations, gaining muscle weight. Also more energy may be related to Vitality supplement, still waiting to see if this is consistent. Keeping an eye on the weight since race weight is probably 178-180 and don't want to exceed more than 188 in the off season.
Great bike spin with Ginger today (hills) and weight session coming later on in the afternoon. Also had a great conversation with Sandy about Hula Lehualani in Edmonds, a local hula dance halau. Planning to check out the inventory at Run 26, need some new shoes. So, a hui hou, and I'll see you on the road.
