One month done. Have I made enough progress?
So I’m thinking for successful Ironman training, you’ve got to be diligent and disciplined – keeping things moving. Yet, you’ve also got to be patient and not rush progress. I don’t know that I’m the best at this balance. (Well, it’s really the patience thing that I’m not good at.)
I’m hoping I’m on track – and have moments of anxiety that I’m not!!
So…let’s assess.
| Month 1 progress | Month 2 goals |
| 2xs/week swimming (like it more than I thought I would!)
swim skills:
blog set up! volume up over 7 hours/week Have a support team:
|
strength 2xs/week
swim skills:
get cycling gear create a regular routine of stretching and foam rolling keep volume up |
I type this out and it looks good. Yet, I can’t help the immediate rise of up anxious energy in me that wants to know, “Is it enough?!”
My personal trainer friend commented how when someone runs a marathon, they are near pass out by the end. When someone does ironman, they are LAUGHING at the end. You witnessed (and were inspired by) this amazingly crazy attitude. I think if you at all can keep this insane attitude through out this year of training it’ll put you in the space you need to be in. You of course already know this. Goooo Amy!!
Oooohhhh,I like this. I can be pretty darn miserable by the end of a marathon – when I’m pushing myself with a time goal. There will be no time goal here. It’ll just be whether I can keep myself zany enough to keep going! It’s more audacious, so it’s lighter somehow. Love that!
