Trimarni Coaching and Nutrition

Picture by Gin Fleming After St. George 70.3, Karel felt like his fitness was finally coming along. Karel loves racing much more than training so he hasn't been too thrilled with the fact that his next race isn't until July 1st (Ironman Austria). With the half distance being a great distance for him (he can recover quickly and race them more often), Karel decided to register for Raleigh just a few weeks ago as an opportunity to try something new..... to treat a race as training. Unlike a lower priority race that still deserves some type of "taper", Karel went into Raleigh as if it was a long Swimbikerun brick. In other words, his training didn't change much on race week. Karel put in about 14 hours of training before the half IM on Sunday but surprisingly, felt really good going into the race. By his own admission, he never feels like taper works well for him. While he knows rest and recovery is beneficial, Karel wanted to see if he could spice things up on ...

With my mind and body in a good place, I'm itching to get on the plane to travel to Europe for our 5-week European race-cation. While I'm already getting sad about leaving Campy for over a month, I know he will be in great hands between my good friend Christie in North Carolina and my mom. This weekend concluded another big week of training which was sprinkled with some lighter sessions to rejuvenate the body and mind.  This weekend included: 21 running miles 5:20 hours riding (I was suppose to swim on Sunday afternoon but decided to go for an easy spin with my mom instead) Now you may be thinking that these are "long" workouts and you are correct. But in reality, these were my weekend totals as the training that I do is much less than most Ironman athletes in training. It's also more about specificity than quantity. I'll admit that I do have years of endurance in my body but I still believe most Ironman athletes overtrain and get way to caught up...
