Started the day off with an easy pace 60 min bike and felt really good. Shorter faster swim at lunch today - getting ready for the long run tomorrow.
Here's a quick run down of the 20 week training program I'm following:
Weeks 20-17 - Prep period
Weeks 16-13 - Building Base Phase 1
Weeks 12-9 - Building Base Phase 2
Weeks 8-5 - Building Base Phase 3
Weeks 4-3 - Last 2 week Build for Endurance
Weeks 2-1 - Taper Down before Race
Here's a description of the Prep period that I'm in right now:
This period is "preparing to train"--building base endurance through work and recovery. We'll keep the same number of hours throughout the period and approximately the same schedule. The goal is consistency and getting the body warmed up for the longer periods ahead.
Wed 3/4/09 5:30 am Bike 60 min 21 mi 2:51 min per mile Effort: 11 HR: ave 118 max 130 BPM
Wed 3/4/09 1:42 pm Swim 30 min 1500 m 32:11 min per mile Effort: 14

Interesting. The running book that I recommended to Jamie (and bought myself) preaches a similar mantra. This is the author, an inspirational Olympian who has run in more than 140 marathons!
