This week my training was totally dedicated to volume. For those of you not familiar with training terms and methods it means I spent just over 26 hours this week training in my lower heart rate zones (z1-z2) and focusing on building a foundation on which I will later lay down the more intense training zones (z3-z5). Because of the hard work I have been able to put in this spring I should be better able to handle more intensity and hard work while still being able to recover and stay injury free throughout the summer and fall months.
Fortunately I was able to do most of my training with different training partners from day to day, keeping all of us refreshed and focused.
I started my training week with a Run/Hike which more then once I ended up waist deep in snow. And I ended my week with a 170km of cycling where my cycling partner Dave Johns and I were able to see at least 5 bears from distances of 100 meters to as close as 15 meters.
So I encourage all readers, non athletes and athletes a like. Next time you feel up for an adventure get off the beaten path and experience something new.
Ciao
