Triathlon training for 2010: Day 8 - 1 hour run
Posted on 14 January 2010
Outdoor 5 mile run today + new swimming article below
Triathlon training doesn’t come easy, not even for professionals or seasoned veterans. It’s a challenge each day, but to overcome is the real reward, not the race. SO to add to my 2010 training I went for a 1 hour run in Camden County, NJ - my hometown area.
Run recap
Started at 1:30 pm which seemed to be the warmest part of the day. Good 10 minute pace for the first 5 miles. Legs good, no neck pain, shoulders moving in sync (sometimes my right shoulder aches a tad)… Stopped at local playground and cranked out some pull-ups, push-ups and abs. I wasn’t satisfied with just running today. Keep “you’re crazy” comments to yourself, thanks. I actually ran an old high school cross country route that my coach used to make us do 3x/week. Was weird to see everything looking exactly the same - 7-11 store, run down playgrounds.
For runners and readers, I posted my run route (click here to see) over at mapmyrun.com so you can try the route sometime if you’re ever in my area. If you’re not on mapmyrun.com or a similar site, get on it. It’s ez and very cool to share workouts and outdoor training routes with friends and fellow athletes. Pretty neat huh?
Today’s Examiner Article
Lastly, don’t forget I write for Examiner and I just posted a sweet short article about triathlon swimming tips on my Examiner page (click here to read). Thx for the support friends. Talk soon.
