THE WORKOUT: Spin 30 minutes -> transition quickly to a 30 minute Run.
First brick workout in years! Since triathlon is it's own sport it it's to be trained as such. Even though there are three distinct components, Swimming, Biking, and Running, they all need to be treated as one event to get your body used to riding after swimming and running after swimming AND riding.
Enter the brick. It's just a workout where any of the two components are done together. So, today is a riding and running brick.
I working on training in increments of time right now rather than in distance. The total workout today was 60 minutes, which each half being 30 minutes. The transition time between the two is not race speed. That will come later on.
It was another basic spin and then off on the run. I'm still working on getting my daily nutrition dialed in. I have such a hard time getting in the calories I need... I just don't like to eat, so that presents a little bit of a problem. Much of the time I am forcing myself to eat, because I really don't feel like it or I don't think of it and my wife has to remind me. I wish there was just a simple Jetson's style pill to take. Daily and in workout nutrition played a part in the run of this workout. I hadn't eaten enough the previous day. I had a caloric deficit of about 900 calories. In workout, I failed to take a gel at 45 minutes into the workout. The later part of the run suffered because of it. It's a work in progress.
Here's the Endo info:
I'll skip the Spin info on Endo, it's just a 30 minute spin.
Here's the run...
