Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 83]: Settling Into Otago
So much new!
This week has had so much happen, I’ve now completed a whole week and two sets of long weekend training down here in Dunedin. Unfortunately, I have somehow created a streak of falling, where I fell off my bike while not looking ahead and for the correct path going off the curb, and this weekend in my long run rolling my ankle on a drain while grabbing my gel and going shoulder first into the ground, ripping the sides of my new shoes.
Monday’s Brick: Gale Bernhardt’s Duathlon Brick
Brick sessions are a great training session to help develop the neuromuscular system to prepare you for future events (as well as future training sessions). Not only that but you will get a great physiological training stimulus. This workout is perfect to build your off season fitness for a triathlon or for a targeted build up towards a 10/40/5 Duathlon.

Saturday Swim Session: Ironman 70.3 Swim Success – Week 2
The opening leg of an Ironman 70.3 is an important part of the event. If you swim well you can set yourself up for a good bike and run. Being able to swim efficiently and smoothly will enable you to stay fresh and get onto the bike in a good position. This series of workouts will set you up for success.

Friday Fartlek Run: Garmin Recommended Tempo Run #4
Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 82]: Summer School
I’m currently half a week into my summer school and I already am feeling the load, learning a subject I wasn’t taught properly and to learn so quickly is a lot but I know it’s worth the bulk learning in the long run when it’s time to complete the paper in a few months time.
