Normally when I was doing my longer triathlon training hours I would be fatigued for sometimes up to 48 hours after the workout. I am quickly learning the difference to training for Ironman and 400m sprints. After the circuit workout Ron put me through last sunday I felt great that I had met such a great coach and that we got along so well right off the start. Monday I was sore which I expected. Tuesday was worse which was no surprise as two days after hard workouts usually are. It is friday night and there are still parts of me that hurt from 5 days ago!!! I have been training everyday during the last, but have been carefiul to eusure I have been having good warm ups and cool downs to ensure I do not hurt myself.
One of my first true sprint workouts in over 10 years was today. 10-12 X 150m. 2 min recovery. Me wanting to push myself finished 10 and said ok one more. Then I finished 11 and said to myself ok 1 more. Doing the little extra everyday is what is going to get me to the Olympics, not doing the bare minimum my coach asks of me. It was a hard workout but I was better for it after it was done.
