Day 008 - Overdistance (OD) swimming and OD running

30-minute overdistance swim (level 1) and 50-minute overdistance run (level 1)        Training via ActiveMail

YOU HAVE TWO WORKOUTS TODAY. FOR WORKOUT 1, SWIM FOR 30 MINUTES AT LEVEL 1 INTENSITY (60-70% of your MHR): These easy swims are a perfect time to work on drills that will improve your technique. Also focus on relaxed breathing, with the breath coming from deep in your abdomen, not up in your chest. Force an exhalation just before you turn your head to breathe. Take some time between Workouts 1 and 2; we're not doing back-to-back sessions just yet. FOR WORKOUT 2, DO AN OVERDISTANCE (OD) RUN FOR 50 MINUTES AT LEVEL 1 INTENSITY (60-70% of your MHR): This will be your long run for the week. Trails and dirt roads are ideal places for these types of runs. The softer surfaces will reduce the stress. Triathletes are famous gear heads, and one of the staples for any triathlete is a wetsuit. I suggest you check out Quintana Roo's lineup. They're the undisputed leader in comfort and technology. What's more, you'll swim faster in them because they provide a little floatation and they slip easily through the water.
