I have been asked to post my training schedule for Lake Placid

-Below is a calendar of my long runs (Wed. 6am SUNY) and Saturday Bricks (Bike/Run)

-I do two 90min Computrainer w/o’s per week - fairly high intensity (I’m happy to give specifics if anyone is interested. It is essentially motor-pacing and hills) and the Thursday night ride in addition to the Saturday ride.

-Rest weeks - decrease all workouts by approx 50% and nice and easy (6-8hrs for the week). Sundays off every week.

-I don’t think anyone is interested in my swimming routine so I will leave that out – anyone interested in deep sea diving might speak to me regarding private lessons.

-I have also decided to race more this year prior to Lake Placid and will try to incorporate that into the rest week weekends. These will be tune-ups, not all out. (C races per Joe Friel)
