March Training Totals (Page 2)

My biggest run month ever! and I missed two 15 mi runs from being sickly.  Bike and swim were kinda lax, but thats a run focus is about.  After beantown thatll all change.

Not bad considering that I took a week off after the OLY.

I am tickled pink because, first, I've only been running a year and a half and I'm coming off an injury and this is my highest run volume month ever!    Second this is the most number of hours I have spent in the pool in a month.  I'm a newbie swimmer too.  My background is in biking, albeit touring, so I've kind of been focusing on my weaknesses over the winter.  Plus the weather is just starting to get nice so hopefully April should see an increase in bike mileage. 

March's totals:
Bike:    18h 15m 37s  - 314.5 Mi
Run:    5h 28m 34s  - 30.5 Mi
Kickboxing:    4h
Pilates:    4h

 Just trying to catch the bear!  But I have a long way to go on that goal!

Can't say if its my biggest month but for sure its my biggest month of March!

Could have been better, but I'm still happy with it!

March was a huge month on terms of volume for me:

My secret goal for my race last weekend was to get a qualified spot for IMLP. I knew it was a long shot but have been doing higher volume most of the year just in case I did get the spot.

So at IMCal 70.3 last weekend, I was able to get a qualified spot for IMLP in July and so all this work will not be for nothing

After a week of rest, I will be kicking off my training cycle for IMLP with Wildflower as a Tuneup Race

Didn't get as much strength training as I would like, but I can work on that. 

I think it's great that there's so many people who put in their highest ever training month.  And - count me as one of them!  Started training for my first HIM and missed just one easy run in a month of training sessions.  Woohoo!!

Now, to use this to build on....

I was shooting for 400 Mi bike, 100 Mi run and and 60,000 Yds swim but I came down with a chest cold and I couldn't do any training the last 4 days of the month. Oh well, let's hope April is better

March's totals:

Bike: 10h 27m 39s - 189.26 Mi

Run: 4h 33m 18s - 33.88 Mi

Swim: 6h 43m 08s - 20603.08 Yd

Strength: 1h 20m

 Home Improvement: 3h

Yard Work: 5h 20m

Not all that impressive but I did not miss one planned day during the month.  With the plan I am on this is all that I should have done (at least in time).

Some of you people are crazy.  The next time my wife gets on me for working out I am going to show her your logs.  Do you people have jobs, if so what do you do and how do I get into that field (ha ha).

 Good luck.
