It's worked for me these past 10 or so months. When I ref soccer, I quickly forget and go back to my heel striking ways and end up feeling it for days afterwards. Dude! You are seriously fast!! Good luck in your tri this weekend. Rock strong, rock proud! I've got my eye on the SC Half IM too. Probably not this year, but maybe next. Take care, and good luck again.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621226553428297823.post-30936356875964384392007-05-08T11:04:00.000-04:002007-05-08T11:04:00.000-04:00We could all stand to learn from what Chris said. ...We could all stand to learn from what Chris said.

I just spent some time reading through your entries and you seem to have a very well-rounded athletic ability. Equally as important (according to me) is that you have 'balance'. Keeping your mental and emotional states healthy and in check is what allows a good athlete to excel. You gotta love what you're doing (OK, you can occasionally hate that last interval into the headwind - but you get the point). <BR/><BR/>I share some of the same opinions/training views as Chad in the Arizona Desert. I too take in a lot of training info, stick it in a blender and then decide what works best for me. I also am a big proponent of 'work hard, rest hard' which basically means go harder on your hard days...but take more time off. There's too many people working out 6 and 7 days a week - constantly. If I have the energy to do that, then my workouts aren't hard enough or satisfying enough. <BR/><BR/>My last bit of advice revolves around 'plans'. Having a 'plan' is a double-edged sword. You need to tread carefully. After 28 years of doing this stuff, I am at the extreme end of the spectrum. When asked about my plan, I typically tell people I train by 'the force'. I never write out my workouts more than a couple of days in advance. This works for me because after many years I am very in tune with my body and I have a lot of discipline. Creating a general plan for the year - and plans for each week/month are excellent tools, so long as you remember that they are <I>guidelines</I>. That piece of paper has no idea that you worked a double-shift yesterday or that the kids kept you up half the night. Conversely, it doesn't know that you recovered quicker than expected. My point here is that starting with a plan is good, but your goal should be to learn the philosophies surrounding training as well as how your body responds to it. Then a plan simply becomes second nature.<BR/><BR/>Well, my 2-cents has stretched to about a dollar now, so...it was good talking with you this past Sunday and keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621226553428297823.post-1821951096548755802007-05-08T10:29:00.000-04:002007-05-08T10:29:00.000-04:00Congrats bustin into the 6's!
