New video up!

Talking about the ups & downs of ZONE 2 training.

Hey all,

Total cop out, I know – but this week’s blog update is actually a new video, and I’m talking about ZONE 2 training. It’s an entry point to aerobic exercise and building up an aerobic platform, and going after those fat reserves in a more direct way.

Also, at the beginning of the video I talk about how I’d intended to talk about connection to environment – I figured that I should clarify after the fact that; although I have struggled with seasonal depression in the past, that’s not why I am saving that topic for another day. I want to develop the angle a bit more. I should also state that the reason I am not having such a problem with seasonal blues right now is likely because of diet and this nutty training schedule I’ve built that I am now following.

That training schedule is here: olympicdistancetrainingprogram.pdf

Feel free to check the video out.

CURRENT CHALLENGE:

Early 2025: After running between 8km and 10km distances 4 times per week through the summer of 2024, allergies hit hard in the fall, and I went back indoors in September 2024 - though I did get into mountain biking in place of running, and found some aggressive trails to ride in Edmonton's river valley 1-2 times per week. In early 2024 I increased my protein intake and started lifting heavy, as well. Cutting was a struggle through the summer, even while running those distances, but I've recalculated my macro & calorie intake and I'm seeing the desired results now.

PREVIOUS CHALLENGES:
– August 21, 2022: Completed The Edmonton Half Marathon with a time of 2:19:26 following my home-built half-marathon training program.
– May 4, 2022: Performed Olympic Length Triathlon (1500m swim @ 59:51, 40km bike @ 87:03, 10km run @ 50:40) after completing this Olympic Distance training program. – Not a formal event, trained for and done independently.
– December 27, 2021: Performed half-Olympic length triathlon (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) after 12 week training program. – Not a formal event, trained for and done independently.
– November 12, 2021: Performed super-sprint triathlon (500m swim, 10km bike, 3km run) as part of the training program for the half-olympic length triathlon. – Not a formal event, trained for and done independently.
