Week 2 of Ride the Rockies/IM Wisconsin training is complete! You will notice that yes, I did skip week one, but I just decided to start talking about the training. The goal from now until June 7th when Ride the Rockies is to do as much bike training as possible. I would like to be able to comfortably ride 200 plus miles a week as I work my training up. I will have a peak week over 300 to get a good feel on what will be like for the 483 miles!
Swim - My swimming is coming along pretty good. I'm starting to feel comfortable in the water again and my times are coming down. I've worked my way up to 3 swims a week so far. In April, I'm going to move this up to hopefully 4 a week depending on how I'm feeling.
Run - I've been keeping the run mileage down since the Little Rock Half. Before the half I was running around 20 miles a week. Since, I've dropped down to around 11. I've broken the run up to 4 or 5 times a week, so I've been keeping consistent with running. The plan is to slowly build the mileage on the run since the bike is the focus for right now.
Bike - I'm on the big focus for the bike. The first two weeks have felt pretty good. On the group ride last Saturday, it was a slower ride, but I could tell my legs were pretty tired by the end of the week. This week, I did a hard ride on Thursday and could feel it on Friday. I went for a recovery ride on Friday and Saturday I was feeling good again. I was able to get a nice 47 mile ride in feeling pretty good the whole time. I also went out on route I haven't been on before which was nice! The plan is to get the rides in and start to work some hills in more and more. On Tuesday, I also rode up to Greers Ferry Lake. This was a pretty challenging ride. Since it was 55 miles there, it was uphill for the total ride.
