Day's 3 & 4

So yesterday was a day off. So I took it easy and did a slow 10 miles on the bike and went to training w/ HU. Today was back to training. Did a fast bike sprint, a soccer game and another run. Calves are still sore but I can feel my fitness improving and it feels good to run again and not be huffing and puffing.

Day 4:

Bike: 13.67 Miles
Pace: 18 MPH

Run: 3 Miles
Time: 18:20 min
1 Mile pace: 6:07

Day 2

Woke up with sore calves primarily, quads were not sore. It was a pretty windy day and the first 10 miles on the bike where not easy, however this made the ride back much easier, but we had to compensate for our slow beginning to increase our average. Sprinted a mile immediately after returning which we though we'd run slow, but as it turned out after getting off a fast bike, it's hard to judge your pace. Got in a good lunch and took a nap. Really didn't want to run again, but knew we needed to. Set off to run a slow to moderate pace and ended up going a little faster than expected. I think we need to start running a little more as we are running less than we'll be doing and biking more.

Bike: 20.37 miles
Pace: 18 MPH

Run: 1.33 miles
Time: 7:39 min
1 Mile Pace: 5:45 min

Run: 3 miles
Time: 18:24 min
1 Mile Pace: 6:08 min

Day 1

So winning a duathlon is not something I'd suggest for most people. My roommate and myself are former division 1 athletes and just very athletic people in general. Both of us with plenty of time on our hand as a result of the shitty economy, we have the time needed to train for an athletic endevour of this magnitude. By my estimation we will be dedicating somewhere between 2-3 hour of intense training on a daily basis to to properly prepare to win our selected duathlon. The race we have decided to compete in is the Granite Bay Duathlon on April 18, this being out first day of training, we have 55 days to race day. This isn't to say we're completely out of shape to begin, we both play on multiple soccer teams and Brian completed a half marathon a few weeks ago. Hopefully the title of this blog holds true, we'll find out in 55 days.

DAY 1:

Run: 5.5 miles
Time: 35:15
1 Mile Pace: 6:25

Bike: 16 miles
Pace: 17.3 MPH

Run: 1.33
