WEEK #6 (22-02-2009) - Training for Ironman

Sunday
Hopefully you've been handling the increase in hours and intensity thus far. Hard workouts will soon take on a much more anaerobic flavor for the most part. Get psyched to get fast!

RUN 1:40

Total aerobic effort. Be sure to keep your HR below 70%. This should feel more like a recovery run than an aerobic workout. Go as easy as you need to in order to accomplish this. Remember, if you feel beat after a recovery session, then you went too hard or too long.

BIKE 0:50

Spin out after your run, flushing your legs out with fresh blood. The intensity level here should be at 50-60% and your RPMs at 90-100.
