Sue and I really love visiting the cats on this beautiful loop in the North Carolina (almost) Piedmont.
Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
We love to visit these friendly farm cats on the 32-mile rolling silo loop.
If you’ve watched the short movie, The Creation of FitOldDog, you’ll know that I follow a training plan of one week hard, one week harder, and one week easy. A three-week rotation. This is the end of a hard week, which of course is relative to your level of training. This week was somewhat hard for me, but would be classed as easy when I reach peak training in a few months. Just thought you might like to know - Sue said you might! Thanks Sue.
Workouts:
When I see those dairy cows, I’m reminded of my years as a farm veterinarian in England, all those years ago. Nostalgia strikes.
Bike: Easy 32-mile spin with Sue, on a beautiful day in North Carolina. A quick visit to the cats, on ‘the silo loop.’
Walk: 2-mile trail walk with Willbe, our yellow lab.
Run: 3-mile easy run on the indoor track, working for soft feet - my feet are my weakest point, so they need lots of conditioning. I also focused on a critical aspect of running, arch activation, followed by a thorough stretching session, especially for my lower legs and feet. Then I headed home to cook a steak for dinner - food after training is not to be missed.
What’s your week link, and how do you work with it, I wonder - we all have them?

Hi,
You seem to be into spring down there!
I have just received’ Running with the whole body’ from Amazon, and will start reading it on my flight to Tucson Tuesday.
I am looking forward to trying some of my new cycling skills outdoors over the next few weeks. I’ll also pack my swimming paddles and fins! Training camp time:-)
Jack Heggie’s book is remarkable, but you have to work your way through each exercise calmly and systematically - I did that twice, and it has helped my running enormously. Say hi to Bob and enjoy training camp. Cheers, kevin
