Iron News Man - June 22nd, 2009
Iron News Man
My back is aching! I can’t wait to get into a chiropractor for an adjustment. I’ve been seeing the same woman off-and-on for five years, and I know she’ll get me right as rain. I’m pretty sure it’s merely the lingering effects of the LA Marathon. I just want to make sure I feel 100 percent for Vineman Ironman 70.3, which is now less than four weeks away.
The few sprinkles we had in Santa Clarita on Saturday didn’t prevent me from getting in my 50-miler on the tri bike. I felt comfortable with the distance, with plenty of energy to spare. The confidence to finish won’t be a problem next month up in Sonoma County.
Here’s my TrainingPeaks.com schedule for today from Triathlon Coach Jason Healey:
AA, 3-4 sets
Type: Strength
Planned duration: 1:00
Planned distance: 0.0 miles
After 10 minute warm up do 2-3 sets of Anatomical Adaptation Phase "B" Exercises. Cool down with 5-10 minutes. Print Anatomical Adaptation Phase "B" Exercise Illustrations from the Triathlon Training Series DVD.
Workout #2: Run Flat Course - Recovery Run
Type: Run
Planned duration: 0:00
Planned distance: 8.0 miles
Run 8 miles on a flat course. Try to find a soft surface if possible. Run (easy) to comfortable (medium) pace.
U.S. Open Golf is giving us an hour and a half break during my work shift. I’m debating whether I’ll have enough time to comfortably knockout the 8-miles and still have time to change in and out of my clothes. If nothing else, I’ll do the run when I leave work later.
Here’s my meal plan for today from Food Coach and Private Chef Robert Vincent:
-Protein drink
-Six egg whites, one yolk, oatmeal
-Cup of mixed berries, banana, eight ounces of tuna
-Eight ounces of fish, sweet potato
-Large veggie salad, topped with salmon
-Protein drink
-Cup of frozen yogurt
Robert Vincent warned me boredom with this plan would occur, and he could not be more right! Honestly, even with the cheat days on weekends, I can’t wait to get through Vineman and resume a more regular, though still healthy, eating routine!
