Tom's Training Update



October is coming to an end and I know that Dianne is looking for my annual training recap, so without going into great detail as I would normally like to do, my year to date stats look better than I thought. Above is a graph of my weekly training time for swimming, biking and running from January through October. Lots of ups and downs, with a peak in the Spring as I topped out for my Lake Placid Ironman in July. Overall, maximum weekly hours were 18.5, minimum hours 0, and a weekly average of 8.8 hours. Year to date totals; biking 251 hours, running 127 hours, and swimming 37 hours.

I'm just starting my training for my next Ironman, which is going to be a return trip to Couer d'Alene, Idaho in June 2009. For the next 10 weeks or so the plan calls for short duration, high intensity bikes and runs. After this plan runs out, I'll ease into a little more volume building through the Spring until the June race.

More details and analysis available upon request. Be sure to ask for pie charts, bar graphs, power and pace details, and any other type of analysis you may want. My software tools have the answers!
