Training:
So what am I recommending for training?
Right now I'm doing decline treadmill 5K's with a target less than 30:00. Over the next few weeks I'll be evolving into alternating with 25% treadmill 5K's with a target of less than 72:00. That will be tough, I'm sure.
Additionally I'm cross-training with Cycle Commuting, with a general target of about 80 miles per week, with the occasional off-road MTB ride, maybe 15-30 miles total. If the weather isn't cooperating, or just for some power endurance, I'm doing trainer work, trying to get in at least 16 miles in 60:00. That's tough because we have a Kinetic Trainer, so there isn't an "easy" setting.
What's just around the bend? Hang on, come back soon, and I'll share how I'm going to mix this into sport specific training for a VK.
