Auckland Half Marathon

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 72]: Auckland Half Marathon

My race recap- the day finally came, the Auckland Half Marathon just like that is finished. The training up to this event has been eye opening in just what I love and want to achieve, but also what I can achieve, being so much more than I ever thought. I stayed with my Mum at the same place as last year when I competed in the 11km, but this year by the 11km point i was already at a faster pace than a year ago.

Monday’s Brick: GTN’s Short Course 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 session includes efforts at race pace to help prepare for your next Sprint or Olympic Distance Triathlon.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 71]: Nearly Race Week

We have entered race week. The feeling is strange not having a full week of training planned out, tapering will always feel abnormal and ends with being full of energy with it not all being used throughout intervals and long Level II runs. But this is the week I have been leading up too, putting all my effort towards and the motivation to push myself everyday.

Saturday Swim Session: Steve Tarpinian’s Sprint Tri Main Set 2vi

Building your ability to sustain your threshold pace in a swim is an important capability for triathletes and open-water swimmers. These sessions further develop that ability by progressing the intensity as you work through the workout, but maintaining the Rest Interval (RI). The session gets tougher, as you work through it. This session will benefit triathletes of all distances, as well as other open-water swimmers.
