Iron News Man - July 14th, 2009
Iron News Man
It’s getting to the point where it’s hard to focus on anything other than Vineman Ironman 70.3. Work, chores, you name it… things are just slipping my mind in these remaining days before my greatest physical challenge on Sunday. Thank goodness I have a checklist of all my triathlon gear or I’d certainly forget something!
My lower back is feeling much better than yesterday. I’m honestly not sure why it feels better? I had a solid run and weight workout so maybe the high heat did me some good. Who knows? Who cares? I feel better and that’s all that matters.
Here’s my TrainingPeaks.com schedule for today from Triathlon Coach Jason Healey:
Pyramid
Type: Swim
Planned duration: 0:00
Planned distance: 2200.0 yards
Swim 2200 yrds total. Warm Up: Do an easy 4 x 50, 2 x 100.
Drills: 200 yrds. Choose drills from the Triathlon Training Series Swim DVD.
MS: 8 x 25 with 10" rest. Do every 4th 25 as fast as possible. Follow with 6 x 50 with 15” rest. Do every 3rd 50 as fast a possible. Finish with 8 x 75 wtih 20” rest. Do all 75's slow except for 3rd and 6th set. Do the 3rd and 6th as fast aspossible.
CD: 4 x 50, 8 x 25 easy with emphasis on form.
Concentrate on good form even during the hard efforts.
We’re still implementing and rehearsing with a new computer system here at NBC4. It’ll require me to stay late today at work and I have my regularly scheduled weight training session with Jordan Yuam at 3pm. I’ve arranged to get my swim training in between newscasts (thanks to my co-anchor Jennifer Bjorklund for covering one of my Today Show local news cut-ins :). I’ll swim at the nearby LA Fitness Universal City.
Do you know the difference between “Hollywood” six-pack abs and a flat stomach? What either or both? Then be sure to click on the video to the left! Jordan Yuam rocks!
