Work, Rest & Play.

A crazy few days for us here - some of it work related & some good training hours too.

No time for training over the weekend - we were busy on Saturday with Retul Bike Fits & on Sunday we were running our Swim Clinics all day. The Sunday morning session is a 1 hour Stroke Correction Clinic and the Sunday afternoon session is a Video Swim Analysis Clinic. Both very effective and hugely valuable sessions. Contact us at coaching@athelite.net or go to www.athelite.net if you are interested in these sessions, either for this weekend or in the future.

On a personal level we are now well into our training for our 2013 events, the main one being Ironman Mont Tremblant in August. This is the final week of our Preparation phase. This morning we knocked out a tough high cadence & tabata spin session first thing. After that we rode to the pool for a 45 minute technique focused swim, rode to Tim Hortons for coffee, rode to the Gym for a 1 hour weights session then rode to work where I promptly had to lay down for 20 minutes to pull myself back together!

I am loving the structure of being on a training plan again. No long sessions yet but I am really noticing the difference already of just training consistently again. I'm also remembering how I can clear out a fridge full of food in 2 days if I'm not careful!!

There is no better feeling than when you are back and training to a plan with a worthwhile goal. Keep it up guys. Ironman will come around before you know it.
