This week was a week full of training, and a step up in pace along all the boards of my runs. Usually I just have one run a week where I focus on intervals, pushing and holding the pace, but leading into my half marathon in less than two weeks Ray has added in pace into all three of my runs, making me focus on hitting the correct paces, but also holding and repeating them throughout what is on schedule.

Not only that but you will get a great physiological training stimulus. This session includes efforts at race pace to help prepare for your next Ironman 70.3 or full Ironman Distance Triathlon.

Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclist alike, because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.

There is three weeks to go until my goal race arrives. It’s slightly unreal to think that it’s so close. It feels like I just decided to start my journey into longer endurance racing. The change has been more than I could have imagined and I’m so happy that I took the leap of faith and threw myself into something so different and so new to what I normally keep myself confined too.
