TheEd,
Not too much rambling at all, if there is any its on my part :yes:
Absolutley hear you on the being disciplined and restrained. This is the single most powerful element of my training I have learnt this year and what I have been working hard to understand since my early 20's thanks to your support.
On the being disciplined and being restrained, does this mean lowering priority of any gym work and mountain biking from now? Esp the biking because I have felt a serious benefit from doing the biking and believe it got me out the last 'rut'. Also the swimming has helped relax me and help me understand my energy levels even better.
The surfing earlier in the year prob hasnt helped the running form. THe surfing will not pick up till Sept now and as you may have noticed I havnt been for a good few weeks - I will need to balance and prioritise this much better as and when the autumn swell arrives.
I'm eradicating negative energy from my training from now on. Learning how to master the beast is now in order.
2 cycles it is then, uninterrupted and then all then onwards and upwards to November 26th for the big 10km race. This is all I want to peak at this year...maybe some mini-peaks on build up.
Training today: No running
AM: MTB 10Km to work and home - high cadence. Lunch: Short w/up and then light stretch.
Calves: Still slightyly tight.
When do we start the first cycle?
Was thinking of trying a 4.2 mile Waddle with a colleague from work who's trying to get back into running - emphasised the 'Waddle' pace - he's quite nervous and have reassured him on the pace. Should I proceed? See how the calves are? Or wait till weekend?
Your call coach...I'm all ears...
Cheers,
D
