I completed my first week of training a couple days ago...and of course I have neglected to post daily. One of these days I'll get better at it. So I logged 65 miles over about 8 hours or so. So far it's been pretty easy, but these first couple weeks aren't so much about logging a lot of time or hours, but getting adjusted to the amount of training sessions. It's going to get a lot worse.
Everything I've been doing has been very low intensity, so I've been running on average of about 12.5 min/mile, and cycling in the 14-15 mph range. Though, that is due to the fact that it's incredibly hilly around here. When I've ridden on flat ground, i'm moving closer to 20 mph with little effort.
Yesterday began week two of training and that consisted of a swim and run. The swim was my long swim of the week and I set a personal record. I swam 3000 yards, and the main set consisted of 4 x 500 yards. The run was 45 minutes with strides. I completed 3.5 miles in 45 minutes. Though it was very hot and very muggy yesterday when I ran.
