How I train

I have a bunch of races I want to complete in 2010.  I can join any number of training groups here in Austin, but none of them do what I want.

So I went and got my own certifications, and using mine and my friends’ experience, I’m working on a CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance focused training program for endurance sports.  I should be able to do a sprint to Olympic distance tri with little trouble, anytime.  I should be able to complete a long bike ride whenever I want.  If it’s an A-race, I should be able to peak in 6 weeks or less and PR the race.

It’s possible, and I’m doing it now.  Here’s what I do.  What do you think?

  • Follow CrossFit HQ schedule: 3 days on, 1 day off.  Do either the CrossFit Endurance Anaerobic Endurance workouts or the ones prescribed by my gym (depending on what I’ve got going on in a given day).
  • Get one track workout in per week.
  • Get one interval cycling workout in per week.
  • Swim as much as possible — at least one interval workout per week, one tempo workout per week.
  • Periodic time trials, every couple weeks, focusing on longer distances.
