Wk 13: 2 runs - 9 miles / 2 bike trainer rides - 120 min
That's it so far. Not impressive, obviously, but I have a history of ramping up mileage and intensity far too quickly and getting injured. I'm trying to avoid that this time. I'm also doing a little strength training (mostly pushups, pullups, dips and situps...which I had to avoid when I pulled a groin muscle). At 5'11", I'm at 159 lbs. Will probably race at around 150. My current (and new) running shoe is the Brooks Defyance2, which I love. Doing my first outdoor bike ride today. Will probably ride around 20 miles at an easy pace. Base, base, base is what I'm all about right now.
