Workouts
Swim: Get in 3 workouts of swimming this week, especially if your swim is your weakest of the three sports! 1500 yards per session for newer swimmers, 2000-3000 for intermediate swimmers, and 3000 yards+ for experienced swimmers.
Bike: Routes for team rides are decided the day of the ride, with weather and amount of riders taken into consideration. Show up to a ride this week to see what exciting new routes will be taken! Recall that these rides are not for racing, but rather to develop the aerobic capacity necessary to reach your potential as an athlete. Save the racing for the races.
Run: As we progress into week three of base, we should already be sensing fitness gains. Assuming you have been working out consistently for a few weeks, runs should feel easier; you should be recovering better and better as time goes on. Physiological adaptations include increased stroke volume of the heart, improved efficiency of transporting oxygen to working muscles, and higher concentration of mitochondria in muscle cells.
Other: This weekend is our team retreat!!! Meet at Slack Street Parking Lot Saturday morning at 7am. We will be stopping at K-man Cycle & Run (our team shop) along the way. We will then continue driving to Lake San Antonio for a weekend of solid training and team bonding. Bring all necessary equipment to swim, bike, and run on Saturday. Optional Sunday morning workout as well.
