cardano Training Blog

Well, I haven’t posted for quite a while, as you can see, but I’ve kept myself pretty busy…
New since last time:
1. I am 2.5 weeks into quality marathon training (Phase II in Daniel’s Running Formula). Still running 50-60 miles/week, but now with 2-3 quality runs per week. At this stage, I am emphasizing tempo-pace running to improve lactate threshold, and 3-5 minute intervals to improve VO2 max.

2. I’m really sick of cold weather.

3. I’ve got a cadence-measuring cyclocomputer, which makes riding on the trainer more enjoyable (it gives me a way to gauge performance, even though the speed probably isn’t accurate on the trainer).

4. I’m really really sick of cold weather.

5. Grades are back from the fall semester- 4.0!

6. Finally someone is organizing a race in the aforementioned cold weather. I’m kinda eager to do some racing again- see if I’ve improved at all over the last 3 months.

7. I’ve been getting in some swimming time. My wretched freestyle has improved to terrible, and with luck will be poor by the time the lake is warm enough to swim in this spring.
