We are constantly evolving as a species and as individuals. I have done a little more research on the distances that I need to bike/run. The bottom line is that doing just CF and CFE is enough to finish an Ironman level event. The problem is I don't just want to finish the Ironman, I want to crush the Ironman!! So I will evolve as an athlete and add one Slow Long Distance (SLD) bike or run to my normal CF/CFE workout per week. When I say SLD I'm talking nothing slower than 8 minutes per mile.
Why? Mainly to have the muscle memory to go that distance. Plus I have read some forum post on the CFE forum from Triathlon coaches that have had very good result from athletes that did CF/CFE and one SLD per week. Results like 1 hour improvements in there Ironman times. So I'll take this course and see how it goes.
Today was a beautiful day in Virginia! I didn't do a CF workout because it was my rest day. Tomorrow however I'm going to Jeannie's Beach Crossfit and I'm sure it's going to SUCK!! But hey I love it! Anyway, today I did a SLD run of 70 minutes. I maintained a pace of 7:55 per mile and covered 8.82 miles. I felt great and it was an awesome day to be outside.
Life is good!!
