Making the Training Plans

Now that I have my biking and running goals for the year set, I have been working on my training plans. My personality type dictates that I don’t randomly run and bike here and there, but that I have a definite plan to tackle these events so that I don’t over-train, but that I am also adequately prepare for each event.

Since I want to participate in five organized running events and two biking events in 8 months, I certainly need to be prepared. And looking at the calendar, I have a half marathon and a century within a month of each other in the spring and a half marathon and century within a week of each other in the fall (rather late summer – second week of September).

Reviewing several training plans I think I have it down, as well as the rest built in and the strength, flexibility, and core conditioning that will help keep me strong.

I am a healthy fit individual that will be successful in 2009.
