This week is week 8 in my IronMan Base Phase Training.
- I've put in 38.6 hours so far.
- Last week I hit 6 hours and plan to get around 7 this week.
- Swimming is 200% better. Yesterday I had my 4th lesson and I've come so far already. I am swimming flat now, can breathe, have decent form. I just have to work on my lung capacity and my efficiency.
All and all, things look great. Sometimes I struggle with the gradual adaptation (only increasing training volume 10% max per week). I am working on resting and stretching to really recover from the training.
I'm thrilled about IronMan Florida 2009!
