A blazing start to week 4

Well this week for me is week 4 of 20.  Things are really heating up this week.  I am also learning how damn hard it is to do this outseason and train for a marathon at the same time.  DO NOT DO AND WILL NOT DO AGAIN.

Monday was a crippling lower body workout for me but my squat went up 30 pounds since my last max so thumbs up there.  I then ran six miles with a buddy afterwards on very tired legs.   Our pace was 9:05 and lots of hills decided to show up.

Tuesday for me was a scheduled bike and 25 minute brick.

***Interval 2 got interesting cause of the wind.  As you can see by the speed from Int # 1 and #2 the wind was at my back and lots of ups and downs.  I was cruising at times of up to 38 mph and so had a hard time nailing this FTP but got close.

Well as of today for the year to date I have logged 4,197 miles.  My year us up Nov 1.  This journey has been so real and I am amazed at the leaps and bounds I have made.  A friend of mine use to text me and call me and say, "Now there is no need to do all the extra stuff you are doing trust me this stuff is hard!!!" He was so right.  The only thing I am doing this outseason is trying to put on some muscle weight to my legs, lats, etc.  I truly feel that is a piece of the outseason that I needed to add this year.

Well be safe out there all.
