November - February Training Notes

I debated posting this. On one hand I think it's interesting to see what other's are doing in their training. And I also use these posts as a sort of reference for myself over the months. On the other hand I'm not sure if anyone else thinks its interesting.

My own views won out on this. So I'm rolling up a bunch of months. October was my last full month of training for the season last year.

November

	Distance	Time
Swim	0 yards	0 hours
Bike	0 miles	0 hours
Run	0 miles	0 hours

Ahh, the easy life. I was trying to get fat and lazy. I accomplished the lazy part, but not the fat part. My wife recently told me that the reason I didn't get fat is because when I stopped working out I also stopped eating a ton. That is not something I'm going to spend any additional time thinking about.

December

	Distance	Time
Swim		40 minutes
Bike		30 minutes
Run		3 hours
Strength		6 hours

This was mostly just to get in some time building strength and whatever else I felt like. My running time is noticeably higher than the bike and swimming because running on the treadmill at the gym is more fun than the bike and easier than the lap pool. I didn't record distances because this was still off season :)

January

	Distance	Time
Swim	20,200 yards	7 hours
Bike	11.45 miles	1 hour
Run	17.58 miles	4:10 hours
Strength		2:10 hours

This was mostly just more lazing around, sort of just trying to get back in the swing of things, the structured training started on the 28th, which is why I have even one hour on the bike.

February

	Distance	Time
Swim	34,400 yards	10:25 hours
Bike	153.17 miles	10:35 hours
Run	41.5 miles	7:40 hours
Strength		2:10 hours

And there we have it, the first full month back in the saddle. Most of this was fairly low intensity work, light weights, that sort of stuff.

So there we have it.
